2026 UPWARD basketball & CHEER
Our Program
Our Upward program exists to help the youth in our community grow physically, mentally, and in character. Through a positive, yet challenging environment, we work with parent coaches to encourage our participants to push themselves in each of these areas.
If you would be willing to help coach your child’s team, please fill out the coaching application.
