Coaching Upward. We are looking for coaches who want to invest in kids, teaching them to play the game well but also building character. We would love to talk with you about what it means to be an Upward coach.

Safety protocols. We believe we will be mask-free for the Fall 2021 season, but we will update mask and safety protocols as we get closer to the season.

What parents say about Upward...
"The friendliness of the entire staff and welcoming atmosphere make this a wonderful experience."
"I love the entire environment. The support in the league is tremendous. It was a refreshing change from the leagues we have been associated with in the past."
"One of the best youth programs around, and we have experience with a lot of them. Keep up the great work."
"I appreciate how well organized everything is."
"This was our first year and our first experience with any kind of organized sport. Our son had a great time, liked his coaches and learned to play football."
"Our sons have already asked about signing up next year. With most sports, by the end of the season, they are done for awhile. Everyone involved with the Upward program deserves a round of applause for their efforts."
Schedules
Upward's Fall League season begins in late August with practices, and the first game is the third week of September.
Games are typically played on Saturdays, with occasional night games. Our season ends in mid-November with our end-of-season celebration.
We will post our Fall League 2020 schedule as soon as it is available.

Don't have a church home?
Grace Mennonite Church is the sponsor of Upward Flag Football & Cheerleading. It is the church I grew up in and now serve as Associate Pastor, and it is made up of some of the warmest and most caring people I know. Many of them are Upward volunteers! If you do not already belong to a church, I would love for you to come and visit.
