Upward Basketball and Cheerleading

Coming this September - Registration dates to be announced

Upward Basketball was founded by Caz McCaslin in 1986. Since its beginning, the emphasis has been upon Christ-likeness and good sportsmanship, not championships and trophies. It was founded upon Colossians 3:17: "Whatever you do, whether in word of deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

Today, there are over 200,000 children participating in Upward worldwide. Upward is all about the children and not about the final score of the game or how many games are won during the year. The primary goal is to introduce Jesus to the children and their families. Upward at Isom's Chapel is first a ministry and secondly a time of fun using the tool of a basketball.
