Upward is a youth sports league like no other. As an Upward Flag Football or Cheerleading Coach, you have the opportunity, and responsibility, of developing the whole athlete—physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually.
become an upward coach
a position of impact
Let this sink in: A coach will impact more people in one year than the average person will in an entire lifetime.
When a youth sports league is concerned only with winning, the emphasis becomes strictly on how an athlete performs on the field—ignoring the other essential components that are key to a child’s development.
Many coaches teach the physical part of being an athlete, but a singular focus on that aspect ignores the mental, social, and spiritual elements that help the athlete become not just a better player and teammate, but better person on and off the field as well.
Upward strives to develop the entire athlete.
unmatched resources
No youth sports organization we are aware of provides a better set of "tools" to help make the coach's job easier and more rewarding. From practice plans to playbooks to videos that show you how to run drills and mobile apps to manage team communication, Upward provides excellent support for coaches every step of the way.
