Don't miss VBS this week!
Upward Sports is a non-profit with the mission of giving kids the opportunity to discover Jesus through sports. Each January, kids in grades K-2 can join a team to learn basketball fundamentals, sportsmanship, and character. This program is facilitated by dedicated volunteers and coaches.

 Evaluations are scheduled in October to evenly place kids on teams. For more information, please contact Pastor Jamie Staley at jamie@firsthotsprings.com

UPPER LEVEL Basketball is a league for individuals with special-needs* ages 8 & older. We provide a safe, family friendly environment for individuals to play without the fear of ridicule or exclusion. The families enjoy watching their loved one compete at their ability level. In a typical season, the players attend one night a week for 6 weeks. Practices and games take place during the same time each week. The season concludes with a family dinner and awards ceremony. We are excited to offer an abbreviated camps season in 2021!

*For this league, special-needs is defined as a person who is in a self-contained class in the public school system OR receiving special services through adult development disabilities programs OR who requires adaptive devices to be mobile.
