Upward Sports

Upward is an evangelistic sports ministry specifically designed for four year olds (as of September 1) through sixth grade boys and girls where emphasis is placed on "Christlikeness" and good sportsmanship, not championships and trophies.  Upward seeks to strengthen children and their families by:

  • Maximizing the family schedule by having only one hour of practice and one game each week,
  • facilitating an atmosphere of sportsmanship by not keeping leagues standing in any division,
  • allowing the coaches to focus on ministering, instead of game strategy, by having a set substitution system where all players are allowed equal playing time, and by maximizing ministry opportunities by exposing participants to Scripture-based devotions during each practice, and exposing spectators to halftime devotions.

Friendswood UMC offers three Upward sports programs:
