Upward Game day Experience:

On Saturday mornings you will find a high energy atmosphere that is all about the players and cheerleaders. You will have the opportunity to have a front row seat to God given talent on display each week! Make sure you grab a snack from our concessions stand or participate in the halftime show each week. We don’t want anyone to miss out on an Upward Gameday experience!
