Upward Basketball

Upward is a world-wide recreational sport organization that has a strong foundation in the Christian faith. Athletes are taught how to play basketball and cheer, but most importantly, they learn how to live their lives honoring God. Our coaches teach some great life lessons while encouraging our athletes to memorize scripture and its application.

The Upward basketball and cheer season last for 8 weeks from January through March (practices begin in December). Each team plays one game per week and all games take place on Saturdays. Teams practice once per week. An important part of this practice hour is to pause, sit together, and talk about the Life Application lesson for that week. 

Our desire is to provide a great experience at Upward so that they walk about feeling like a champion.

Welcome to the Season!

We’re excited to officially welcome you to the Upward Basketball & Cheer season! This season is about so much more than competition—it’s about building confidence, learning teamwork, encouraging one another, and growing in character both on and off the court.

We’re grateful for our amazing coaches, volunteers, and families who make this ministry possible and who invest their time and energy into the lives of our kids.

If you have any questions at any point during the season, please don’t hesitate to reach out at upward@flushingcommunity.org
