As you can imagine, it takes a multitude of volunteers to minister to the hundreds of children that register for Upward each season.  If you are interested in being a Cheer Coach, Flag Football coach, Assistant coach, or Referee; please complete an  application.  We provide you with training and the materials you need to be successful in serving these young hearts.

 

During each Upward season we look for 100 Prayer Partners to pray over the children and the upcoming events.  If you would be interested in serving as a Prayer Partner this season please fill out the application and drop it in the offering box. 

Prayer Partner Application


How It Works

  • It’s an awesome opportunity for boys to learn the skills of football while learning to look Upwards to the love of Christ at the same time.

  • A computer program splits the teams evenly, and players guard a player of his own ability.

  • Every player plays the same amount of time, and every player starts the same number of games.

  • One 1-hour practice each week.

  • Each child can earn a star at practice for memorizing his/her memory verse.

  • Each child gets a star at the end of each game.

  • Players are introduced through a tunnel with fog, music, and a standing ovation each week at the games.

  • Testimonies are given at ½ time of every game

 

This is an incredible ministry with children and their families, while having a great time playing football. Don’t miss the registration in July, and feel free to visit www.upward.org for additional Upward Information.
