How much does it cost?

The cost of the 2022-23 Upward Season is only $150 per child! This includes a full jersey for each player.

There is a discount of 50% discount for a 2nd child and each additional child after that from the same family.

My child hasn’t played basketball before. Will this league be a good fit?

Absolutely. We focus on teaching fundamentals, teamwork, and strength of character. Players of all skill levels will find that they are able to have fun, engage in healthy competition, and grow in their athletic ability.

How can I sign up?

You can sign up online. Registration for the 2022-23 season will open on June 1st. 

What are Evaluations and why do you do them?

Evaluations are not try-outs. Every participant will be placed on a team regardless or experience of skill level. Evaluations simply allow us to gather information about the approximate skill level of each participant. This information is used to form balanced teams that promote fun and healthy competition. 

Note: Kindergarteners do not need to attend an evaluation.

When are Evaluations?

Once your child is registered, he or she only needs to attend ONE of the following evaluations. You do not need to arrive at the beginning of the evaluation you choose to attend. Instead, you can arrive at any point during the allotted time.

• Thursday, October 20, 2022 from 6-8pm.
• Sunday, October 23, 2022 from 6-8pm.
• Monday, October 24, 2022 from 6-8pm.

When are practices and how long do they last?

Each team will be assigned a weekly 1-hour practice time slot. These 1-hour practices will occur on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, OR Thursday in the early evening. This means that your total time commitment for practices will not exceed 1-hour per week for each child.

If there is a day of the week when your child is unavailable to practice, then simply let us know when you register online and we will place your child on a team that practices on a different day.

Practices will begin on the week of November 28^th, 2022. They will continue each week the final game on Saturday, February 18^th, 2022 with a break between Christmas and New Year’s Day.

How many games are in the season?

In the 2022-23 Season, there will be a total of seven games.

When are games?

Games will occur on Saturdays and last for one hour each.

• Game #1: Saturday, January 7th
• Game #2: Saturday, January 14th
• Game #3: Saturday, January 21nd
• Game #4: Saturday, January 28th

Where will practices and games take place?

All Upward events take place at the newly renovated outdoor courts Seabreeze Basketball Courts!

Can my child play on the same team as his or her friend?

We are no longer offering the "carpool" link feature that we have offered in previous seasons. Teams are created based on evaluation scores and practice night availability. This means that your child may or may not be on the same team as his or her friends. 

What do you do if it rains?

If practices are rained out and your coach wants to reschedule then we will work with your coach to find a make-up time. If games are rained out there will be no official make-up games, but teams are free to arrange their own scrimmages. There are no refunds for rain-outs.
