360 Progression
Play with Purpose
To Play With Purpose means you make smart decisions, improve in your physical development, discover your life's purpose, and put others needs before your own.
It's more than just the game. It's every practice, every drill, every pivot, every pass and shot. Become more than just an athlete.
The driving purpose behind Upward Sports is a desire to help young athletes PLAY WITH PURPOSE.
