Welcome to Upward Soccer!
This season, you will participate in a league that will redefine the word winner.
Today’s sports culture has created a “win at all cost” mentality. However, in Upward, success is not based on wins and losses. Coaches are trained that success is determined by how they convey salvation, character, and self-esteem to each child. Upward defines winning as learning and/or teaching lessons in the game of life.
Be a Winning Parent!
As a parent, you play a very important role in building the self-esteem and character of your child and every child in this league. Players will look to their parents, coaches, and referees as models for sportsmanship, respect for authority, and positive attitudes. Through your positive participation in this league, you can provide a lasting effect in these children that will live well beyond the end of the season.

Rules Unique to Upward Soccer
You will receive a detailed set of rules unique to Upward in the Parent’s Guide to Upward Soccer, which will be distributed with your child’s player items.
Game Format
A unique element of this league is the game format:
Substitutions
Upward’s substitution system is designed to provide every player equal opportunity for improvement. The substitution system ensures that no child will sit out more than one segment at a time, every child will have the opportunity to start a game, and playing time for all players is virtually even over the course of the season.
