EVERY CHILD PLAYS.  EVERY CHILD LEARNS.  EVERY CHILD IS A WINNER.

ARC is preparing for its third season of Upward and this year we are offering basketball and cheerleading!

Upward is a fun, reliable, passionate and encouraging sports experience for boys and girls, in K-5 through sixth grade.  Upward provides first class, organized and detailed sports programming.  Through Upward, children are exposed to quality coaching and sport development.  Upward emphasizes character and integrity instead of a “win at all costs” mentality associated with today’s sports world.  

Upward promotes character and self-esteem in every child by:

  • Providing an evaluation system that promotes equal teams and opportunities
  • Establishing a one-hour practice and game each week
  • Implementing a substitution system for each team, allowing every child equal playing time
  • Creating the opportunity for every child to learn the skills of the game

Upward is more than a game.  Your child will have fun learning or improving their basketball skills through Upward.  Participating in this league will give your child a chance to experience good sportsmanship on and off the court.  While playing Upward Basketball, your child will receive a special recognition award after every game and have the opportunity to develop new friendships.
