What is different about this program?

Sports are a great way for children to learn about teamwork, respect for authority and sportsmanship.  The sad part is all those things are being lost in today’s sporting society. With Golden Isles Upward, we want to create the best recreation and sporting experience for every family that participates. Upward Sports is designed to reveal the winner in every child.

We provide an evaluation system that promotes equal teams.  There is also a substitution system for each team that allows every child equal playing time.  Every child has the opportunity to learn the skills of the game.  The emphasis is placed on having fun and great sportsmanship, not on scores and standings.
  Our success is not determined by wins and losses, but on how all volunteers at Golden Isles Upward convey the love of Christ to each participant and their families!

Families are a priority with Upward and we know time that your is precious.  Once games begin, we hold one hour practices once a week.  Game day is Saturday and each game is limited to one hour.  Therefore, the time commitment is two hours per week.

Will my child have the opportunity to play every game?

Yes!  All registered children will play. With  the Upward substitution system, every child has the opportunity to be in the starting lineup, requires no child to sit out back-to-back segments (possessions for flag football), and allows every child to play at least half of the game.

What can I expect from the coaches?

The main role of a coach is to serve as a role model and mentor to participants both on and off the playing field. Our coaches help create a positive sports environment.   Upward is designed to bring out the winner in every child—regardless of the game’s score.  The coach's main goal is to share the love and knowledge of Christ, invest time that will better prepare each child for the wins and losses of life and to creat a fun and life changing experience.
