Upward Sports

1. Get spiritually equipped: Every coach will be expected to join a 1-hour training session on how to share the gospel with your players, parents, and siblings. We will offer live sessions for us to meet for this training, but I am also producing a video that you can take if the time(s) we meet for the training are not times you can attend. We don’t want scheduling challenges to stop anyone from the joy of serving as a coach this season!
2. Get prayed up: Begin to make it a matter of prayer that God will work through this ministry in profound ways, and that the Lord will use you as an instrument in the hearts and lives of your team.
3. Be looking for the next email: We will reach out to you with another email filled with necessary information. The main things to look for will be a brief questionnaire inquiring about your personal relationship with Jesus, your coaching philosophy, and with dates for when the evangelism training will be offered.
4. Mark your calendar: Evaluations for Upward will be held in November, our coaches meeting will be held before Thanksgiving, practices will begin in December, and games will begin on Saturdays at the first of the new year. The eight-game league will conclude the first week of March 2023.

So here is the ask: Will you say “yes!” to coaching Upward Basketball in the upcoming 2022- 2023 season? If so, make arrangements to take the “How to share the gospel” training, whether on-line or in person. Begin to pray for God to use you. And finally, mark your calendar so that you can give of yourself to this fantastic opportunity. Here is the link to make it official!
