Upward is a fun, reliable, passionate and encouraging sports experience for boys and girls in 1st through 8th grades. Upward provides first class, organized and detailed sports programming in basketball and cheerleading at Columbia Presbyterian Church and Crossroads, their partner church. Unique aspects of Upward include an evaluation system that promotes equal and competitive teams as well as a substitution system which allows for equal playing time for all participants. Through Upward, children are exposed to quality coaching and sport development. Upward emphasizes character and integrity instead of a ?win at all costs? mentality associated with today?s sports world. We would love to talk with you more about the Upward experience, connecting with the program, our church, or if there?s anything we can do to help your family grow together and in your faith.
