"The culture of Upward Flag Football is exactly what youth sports should be."
That quote from a parent in our end-of-season evaluation says it all about Upward Flag Football & Cheerleading. Upward is much more than simply a sports league. We are a community of players, parents, coaches, referees and fans who work to create an exceptional environment in which children can learn, play, and have fun.
Get a glimpse of the Upward experience in the gallery (below).
Upward is fun for all seasons!

UPWARD flag football & CHEERLEADING
Registration for our Fall 2023 League is now open. Evaluations will be held in late July and early August, and practices will begin late August. Our first game will be September 16.
We will create single- and two-grade leagues if we have a sufficient number of players.

DivisionS
For the Fall League, we typically divide players into three divisions:
- Division 1 is K to 2nd grade
- Division 2 is 3rd-5th grade
- Division 3 is 6th-8th grade
When registration numbers allow, we move to single- or two-grade leagues (3rd-4th, 5th-6th, 7th-8th, etc.)
Fall 2023 registration opens May 2023.
FUN—WITH EXELLENCE
Upward practices and plays in one of the finest turf stadiums in the area. For our players, that is a thrill in itself.
Then we add night games under the lights, an electric game-day atmosphere, quality uniforms and more to provide players and their families with a top-notch youth sports experience.
STAYING IN THE GAME
When players and parents asked us to extend the league beyond 8th grade, Upward responded with a Spring League for players in grades 8 to 11.
Players who age out of the Fall League also have the opportunity to "stay in the game" by serving as referees, coaches, or summer camp counselors, some of which are paid positions.
We love seeing players remain involved in the league this way!
volunteers make upward go!
Our Upward coaches help young athletes grow in their love of the game, but also in their understanding of how sports help them develop the vital skills and decision-making they will need to succeed in life. Learn more
