UPDATE (12/01/08): Our registration deadline has passed and we are excited to have record-breaking participation this season! Though registration is now closed, if you're interested in putting your child on a waiting list, call the church office at 865-2325.
Parkway Baptist Church is excited to once again offer Upward Basketball and Cheerleading to boys and girls in our community! Upward is a nationally acclaimed sports program for children ages 5 years old through 6th grade.
At Parkway, we love your child more than we love winning. Therefore, we promote character and self-esteem in every child by providing:
- An evaluation process to provide equal teams and equal opportunity for improvement.
- A substitution system that promotes equal playing time for each player.
- A schedule that is easy on your family. Your child practices and plays/cheers for a game once a week. Practice is only one hour each week, and games are only on Saturday mornings.
When your child plays Upward Basketball:
- You sign him/her up individually, not as a group or a team.
- All team members get equal playing time every game.
- He/she will learn new drills to improve his/her basketball skills.
- He/she will receive special recognition awards every game.
When your child cheers for Upward Basketball:
- You sign her up individually, not as a squad.
- She will learn techniques to improve her cheerleading skills.
- She will receive special recognition awards every game.
You also get great basketball gear...
- Upward Basketball T-shirt
- Upward Basketball jersey
- Upward Basketball car magnet
- End-of-season trophy and award
...or cool cheerleading gear!
- Upward Cheerleading uniform
- Upward Cheerleading megaphone
- Upward poms
- Upward Cheerleading car magnet
- End-of-season trophy and award
