Fun for Your Child
Right for Your Family
The Dublin Upward experience will be fun for the entire family.
These youth sports programs are for children ages 4 through 9th grade.
​
Our goals are to:
-
Teach sport skills and values
-
Offer family-friendly schedules
-
Allow participants to make new friends
-
Provide equal playing time
-
Foster a love for the game in a safe environment
​
At Upward Sports, families matter. Our leagues give families all the benefits of participating in team sports while protecting them from hectic travel schedules and the win-at-all costs mentality that burns out young athletes. With just a one-hour practice and one-hour game each week, our leagues conveniently fit into busy family schedules. Throughout the season, your child will explore and discover their love of the sport by playing half of every game while they find positive role models in coaches and other sports volunteers.
Upward Sports, the world's largest Christian sports league for kids, has become the place to play fun sports for over half a million families in the United States and Canada. Over the last 16 years Dublin Upward has seen hundreds of families enjoy sports in a safe environment. They had fun, learned the skills of the sport, and experienced the love of Jesus through the Dublin Upward program.
By providing a fun sports experience based on healthy competition, Upward Sports Leagues help kids develop skills for the sports arena and values for life. Upward Sports uses the universal language of sports to connect with kids at a critical age and help them discover and build athletic skills, values, self-confidence and a life-long love of the game. That’s why our youth sports leagues and kids sports camps provide them with the best sports experience possible!
