What Is Upward Sports?
Upward Sports is the world’s largest Christian youth sports organization, helping kids grow in confidence, character, and faith through athletics. At Calvary Raleigh Church, we partner with Upward Sports to create a fun, family-friendly youth sports experience where children can develop athletic skills, build lasting friendships, and learn about Jesus in a positive, encouraging environment.
Unlike many youth sports leagues that focus only on competition and performance, our Christian youth sports program is designed to help kids grow both on and off the field. Through teamwork, healthy competition, and faith-based coaching, we aim to develop strong character, sportsmanship, leadership, and a deeper understanding of Christ alongside skill development in every practice and game.
