Upward Sports Ministry
Mitchell County Upward Basketball & Cheerleading League is a sports ministry of a different kind.
We are blessed to have a part in the building of character and sportsmanship in the lives of young people from Kindergarten through the 12th Grade. This league is built upon prayer even before the season begins and is carried by prayer as the season progresses. Teaching sportsmanship and Christlikeness on and off the court is our main goal.
We are a league of volunteer Christian workers planting the seed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the hearts and lives of young people and their families. The coaches share devotions and Scripture at each practice and at halftime of each game there is a devotion shared with the fans and family members.
