Honor others more than yourselves. Romans 12:10 (NIV) The offensive team can bring the ball up without being defended until the ball crosses into the defensive zone. The zone varies by age group and lines on the floor can be easily seen: 1st, 2nd,3rd and 4th graders zone begins just below the top of the 3-point circle 5th and 6th graders zone begins at half court This allows players to develop ball handling skill during the game without having to deal with a defender. Once the ball has passed into the Defensive Zone, the defensive team can then play defense up to the half court line. The zone is re-established if play is stopped.

We have the exciting opportunity to partner with Operation Christmas Child (OCC) and impact the lives of needy children around the world. Now through January 26, players and coaches can bring in items for Operation Christmas Child while competing in a contest against the other Upward teams. OCC has requested tennis balls, hot wheels/matchbox cars and small stuffed animals, such as beanie babies. All items should be new or very very gently used. Teams will earn one point for each item they bring in. Items can be turned in to an Upward leader at practices or on game day. At the end of the season, the two boys teams and the two girls teams with the highest number of points/items donated will win a PIZZA PARTY on Feb 2nd. Contest standings will be included in the weekly newsletter, so be sure to check how your team is doing.
