UPPER LEVEL Basketball (link here) is a league for individuals with special-needs* ages 8 & older. We provide a safe, family friendly environment for individuals to play without the fear of ridicule or exclusion. The families enjoy watching their loved one compete at their ability level. The players attend one night a week for 6 weeks. Practices and games take place during the same time each week. The season concludes with a family dinner and awards ceremony. We are excited about our 6th season in 2018!
*For this league, special-needs is defined as a person who is in a self-contained class in the public school system OR receiving special services through adult development disabilities programs OR who requires adaptive devices to be mobile.

Sporting opportunities for all age groups: Our sports leagues and tournaments include opportunities for church members and the community to play in a fun, safe, family friendly environment. Our men's and coed softball teams participate in the Garland County Christian Athletic Association every summer. We have coed volleyball teams in the GCCAA every winter. We typically have an annual golf tournament at different courses in the community. We have 3 on 3 or full court basketball for adults and teenagers and offer Upward Basketball and Cheerleading for children in Kindergarten - 6th grades. We're looking at offering different sports leagues/tournaments including basketball, dodgeball, Pickleball, and Ultimate Frisbee.

Summer sports fun for the kids: We offer children's basketball camps every summer. Our camps are separate basketball camps for boys and girls and for different grades (completed K-1, 2nd-3rd, 4th-5th grades). The typical camp is Monday-Thursday, 1:15-4:15 pm. We are also looking at other opportunities including cheer camp, volleyball camp, Pickleball camp, and fit camp.

Sports is a universal language! We're excited for the opportunities we have to take the love of Jesus across the city, across state lines, and around the world! Many times, bringing out a soccer ball, basketball, baseball, and even a Frisbee will open doors to communities worldwide! Some of the places we've served include New York; Pine Ridge, SD; Pascagoula, MS; Honduras; Guatemala; Peru; and Russia. Are you ready to go?
