Upward Sports
Since 1995, Upward Sports has partnered with churches to reach communities through the powerful platform of sports. With a focus on developing the whole athlete—mentally, athletically, spiritually, and socially—these church-led programs create meaningful opportunities for connection and growth.
Today, nearly half a million players take part in Upward Sports leagues and camps across thousands of churches in the United States. Sport offerings include baseball, basketball, cheerleading, flag football, pickleball, softball, soccer, running for adults, and volleyball.
Our mission and heartbeat: To promote the discovery of Jesus through sports.
