Yes!  Evaluations help us to equalize our teams so that the experience is a postive experience for all children.  Evaluations this year will be on Thursday, November 6 between 6:00-8:00 and Saturday, November 15 between 10:00-2:00.  All evaluation will take place at First United Methodist Church, beginning at the main sanctuary doors.

Yes!  If you child is present at every game he/she should have equal playing time as the other members on the team.  Upward has a rotation system that also has your child matched up against a player of fairly equal ability.  If you feel your coach is not following the rotation schedule please let us know and we will work to correct the problem.

We celebrate the end of the season with a program at the Civic Center.  This year we have schedule the Awards Celebration for Sunday - March 1.  Usually we show a highlights video,  have really jammin' music, give away some doorprizes, and hand out end of the season gifts.  In the past we have had special guest speakers and a juggler.
