What is UPPER LEVEL basketball?

UPPER LEVEL basketball 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. 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.

*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.

Plans for our 2023 season.

We offered a downsized UPPER LEVEL Basketball season in 2021.
​What a blessing it was to see the smiles on the faces of our players and their families. What a joy to offer a time of fellowship, exercise, and friendly competition, all wrapped up in the love of Jesus Christ! Heartfelt thanks to our volunteers for serving this season.
