Our Ministries
Children > Upward Basketball and Cheerleading
The purpose of Upward Basketball and Cheerleading at Grandview Park Baptist Church is to help children build character and grow in their understanding and enjoyment of basketball or cheerleading. Upward is different than most community leagues:
We want children to...
- Learn fundamental basketball or cheerleading skills. Our coaches and referees have been trained to teach basic skills to children new to basketball or cheerleading and work to improve the skills of experienced children.
- Build character. Sportsmanship and encouragement are both taught and modeled. Each week the team learns a Bible verse during practice.
- Have FUN! Every player is introduced before the game, is given equal playing time during the game, and receives an award after every game.
Upward Basketball is divided into the following leagues:
- Kindergarten boys and girls (instructional league)
- 1st-2nd grade boys
- 1st-2nd grade girls
- 3rd-4th grade boys
- 3rd-4th grade girls
- 5th-6th grade boys
- 5th-6th grade girls
Upward Cheerleading is divided into age-graded squads depending on the number and ages of the cheerleaders who register.
