Upward Soccer goals:
- Keeping sportsmanship and competitiveness in proper perspective by not maintaining league standings in any division
- Maximizing the family schedule by having only one hour of practice and one game each week
- Equipping coaches and referees to minister by providing extensive teaching tools and simplified rules format
- Allowing the coach to focus on ministering to children and
their families, instead of game strategy, by having a set substitution
system where all players are allowed equal playing time and equal
opportunity for improvement.
- Scripture-based devotions during each practice for players and spectators; halftime testimonies each game day.
- Encouraging each player with a game day award following every game
- Providing opportunities to see changed hearts and lives
among children, family members, and volunteers who experience an Upward
ministry.
- Building toward a harvest time at Awards Night where participants and parents are given an opportunity to respond to the Gospel.
