Upward Basketball is Coming!

We are excited to inform you that the Upward Basketball 2022 season is happening again this year! We would love for your child to participate and are looking forward to what this season has in store. Upward Basketball is a ministry at College Church where children can play in a basketball league that is focused on teaching the skills of the game, teaching the basic truths of the gospel and reaching out to our community. Important details about the season are listed below:

League Divisions

Boys: Grades 1st-2nd | 3rd-4th | 5th-6th

Girls: Grades 1st-2nd | 3rd-4th | 5th-6th

Coaching

We have a need for coaches and would love for you to consider being a coach! If you are interested in being a coach, please contact Dan Hiben at dhiben@collegechurch.org.

Player Registration & Cost

October 11 Registration Opens

November 28 Registration Closes

The cost is $95 per athlete, $80 for each additional sibling.

Please note, we cannot guarantee that your child is on the same team as a friend. The only guarantee we can make is if a child wants to play with a friend they invited who does not know Jesus (indicate this when registering your child), if they have a sibling, or if their parent is a coach. We are confident that your child will make friends and have a blast.
