Upward has created a new online registration system designed to greatly reduce Upward League administrative work, but will require a few changes in the registration process for parents. Please review the registration process and league overview information below before proceeding to register.

Registration Process

Coach links will not be available. We will have many good coaches for your child. Only Assistant Coaches will be linked to Coaches when creating teams.

The system has capability to honor only (1) car pool link. Both parents requesting a carpool link must input the other child’s first and last names in the carpool link. If you have a true need for more than (2) people in a carpool, you must email the request to a League Director – as these requests will have to be manually honored when creating teams.

You can pay for your registration on-line with a credit card or with cash / check at either church’s office or evaluation.
