Evaluations
Every player must attend an evaluation as part of the registration process. The dates, times, and location are listed on the home page.
Note: the evaluations are NOT tryouts. There is no experience necessary to participate in this league. Players' skill levels are assessed, but EVERY child is placed on a team.
Coaching
Coaches are always needed, both head & assistant. Training is provided. If you are interested in coaching, please indicate this on your child's form, or contact Ken directly.
"It's not the shoes, it's the souls!"
In Upward Basketball, your children are much more important to us than the shoes they wear or the game they play. We certainly aim to teach them the fundamentals of the sport, broaden their knowledge base, and increas their skill level. But even better, we desire to build their self-esteem, and encourage their growth: physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. At Kingdom Sports & Rec, WE CARE. We care about the well-being of your children...much more than we care about winning or losing a game.
