UPWARD SPORTS AT DESERT GRACE

HOW WE STARTED

Back in 2013, Desert Grace was looking for a way to provide a safe, fun activity for the children in our community. While the church had a small field, it was barely used and no one in the congregation knew how to begin hosting any type of sports. A partnership was formed between the church and a nationwide organization: Upward Sports – and the rest is history.

ABOUR OUR SOCCER LEAGUE:

Upward Soccer is a slightly modified soccer league designed to help players build skills while enjoying an appropriate level of competition – offered at multiple levels according to their age group. 

 

• Our youngest age groups will play a 4 vs. 4 game  format, in which the goal is smaller and there is no goalie.  

 

• Older age groups will enjoy a larger field, a larger goal, and a 7 vs. 7 format including a goalie. 

 

 Friendly competition is welcome but outstanding sportsmanship from both players and spectators is expected at all times

 

This Soccer league is completely staffed by volunteers.  All of the income is used to pay for player kits, field maintenance, equipment, or other costs associated with Desert Grace’s Upward Sports programs. Absolutely NO monies are redirected to church operations or to pay any person associated with the league.
