After struggling to find a basketball league for the last few years we came across Upward Basketball and were very happy with the results! We had a few concerns as we don’t attend Church and see ourselves as more Spiritual than religious. The Upward basketball league is run by the Church and does promote religion and Christ but we found that basketball was the main focus and did not feel “pushed” into worshiping.
Overall the league was well organized, practices were held weekly and each player received a nice jersey. All of the Coaches were friendly and were genuinely interested in teaching the game.
Although it was difficult to push our ideologies behind we put ourselves out there and had confidence that all would be ok :).
Kaden had a great season and had a personal best of 12 points in one game! He improved dramatically in one year and has great potential! He loves to pass and has a great understanding of the game and team play. He has a knack for defense and seems to be one of those players always in the right spot at the right time!
