CONNECTING FAMILIES + BUILDING COMMUNITIES
Fox River partnered with Upward Sports in 2004. It started at one campus with one sport. Now in 2024, 20 years later, it is hosted across all three physical campuses and includes basketball, cheerleading, soccer and flag football! Thousands of children have learned what it means to Play with Purpose. In a world where sports can easily distract from faith, Upward teaches athletes how to discover Jesus while improving their athletic skills. The impact goes far beyond game day and builds a foundation of faith through Christian principles that will last a life time.

In Upward basketball, kids learn fundamental basketball skills like dribbling, shooting, passing, and teamwork. The program emphasizes character development, sportsmanship, and building confidence, all while incorporating Christian values into practices and games.
For Upward cheerleading, participants learn cheer routines, stunts, and chants while developing teamwork, leadership, and enthusiasm. Cheerleaders encourage their teams and learn how to support one another, with a focus on Christian principles and positive attitudes.
Both programs aim to foster spiritual growth alongside athletic development.
