Upward Sports
Upward Sports, the world’s largest Christian sports program for children, was created with a vision to provide the best sports experience possible for every child. Each year some 1 million people around the world play, coach, referee, or volunteer in Upward Sports leagues and camps hosted by more than 2,600 churches. Anyone – children and volunteers of any faith or no faith – can participate in Upward Sports. Specifically designed for children in K5- sixth grade, Upward Sports aim to bring out “the winner” in every child – regardless of the game’s score. Upward Sports is a first-class sports experience that emphasizes healthy competition, sportsmanship, skills building and fun versus the “win-at-all-costs” mentality found in many children sports leagues.
Since 2005, the First Baptist Longview Upward Basketball program has grown from 120 participants to 370 this past season. Our league is for Kindergarten thru 6th grade boys and girls. Upward Basketball registration begins each year in September with evaluations in November, practices start in December, and games are played in January and February. The season ends with our End of Season Awards Celebration, usually towards the end of February.
