Every player must attend an evaluation (usually held in early December) as part of the registration process---see dates, times, & location on the home page once registration begins.  Game/practice venues will be made available closer to the start of the season.  Practices are held on a weeknight at a rate of once per week for an hour, anywhere between 5:30 & 7:30pm, typically on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Thursdays.  They begin in early January.  You can indicate which practice night is NOT good for you on the registration form, and we would do our best to accommodate.  One-hour games begin in late January, and take place each Saturday thereafter for 8 weeks.  Awards Night brings the season to a close, usually in late March.  Other pertinent information regarding registration and evaluations is listed on the form provided for each respective season (link to download form on home page during promotion phase).  Otherwise, contact Ken Frauenfelder, Kingdom Sports & Rec Pastor (info also on home page)
.  It would be our honor to have your child(ren) a part of Upward Basketball next season.  And remember, in Upward Basketball, EVERY CHILD IS A WINNER!

REGISTRATION FORM 

See link to download a registration form on the home page just prior to the season.

EVALUATIONS

Every player must attend an evaluation as part of the registration process.  The dates, times, and location will be listed on the home page during promotion phase of season. 

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 increase 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.
