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.
