The Upward leadership team has made the difficult decision to limit/modify this year's Upward season.  There are of course many factors that led to this decision, driven by a combination of uncertainty over continued impacts of the on-going COVID pandemic as well as direct impacts from Derecho 2020 which resulted in severe damage sustained by Salvation Army rendering their facility unusable for this year’s Upward season.
​
We hope to have both these situations in the rear view mirror in time to start Upward 2022 season with renewed vigor. ​

Registration will resume for the 2022 Season in October 2021

CANCELLATION POLICY

On Game days, a decision will be made by 6:00 AM to hold games in the event of wintry weather.
For practices: We leave it up to the digression of the parents if they want to come out, if we haven't already cancelled.  No one should feel obligated to attend a practice if they don't feel comfortable.  The coach also has the right to cancel if we don't.  We don't follow the schools. 
A notice will be sent to all coaches and posted to KCRG in the event of a cancellation.
