Greeley Upward Sports is excited to bring to you

Upward Flag Football !!

How It Works:
Upward Flag Football™ is an awesome opportunity for boys and girls to learn the skills of football while learning to look Upwards to the love of Christ at the same time.  A computer program splits the teams evenly, and players guard a player of her own ability.  Your child’s team will practice once a week for one hour.  While at practice, each child can earn a star for participating in a discussion about sportsmanship and Christian values.  When it comes time to play, players are introduced with music and a standing ovation each week at the games.  Every player plays the same amount of time, and every player will start a game.  Each child also gets a star at the end of each game.  During every half-time, special attention is given to the attending crowd through a speaker or fun activities.
