🤝 Where Teamwork Becomes Friendship

There’s nothing quite like the bond that forms between teammates. In Upward, we create a supportive, fun team culture where kids encourage one another and build friendships that last well beyond the season.

Whether your child is new in the area or just looking to connect, this is a great place to belong.

📅 Register today to join the friendship at Abingdon Bible Church Upward Flag Football & Cheer!

💡 Did You Know?
Upward doesn’t keep score in early age groups. Instead, coaches focus on effort, teamwork, and improvement — helping kids love the game without pressure or comparison. In the upper ages, scores are kept for the game, but there is no overall league standings, just the fun of the game.

🙏 More Than a Game — It’s Ministry

Upward isn’t just about sports. It's about the whole child — body, mind, and soul. Every week, players hear a short devotion, practice memory verses, and receive awards based on Christlike character.

We believe in building players who not only play well, but live well.

📅 Register today to join the fellowship at Abingdon Bible Church Upward Flag Football & Cheer!

💡 Did You Know?
Every game includes a halftime devotion — a short, age-appropriate message focused on character, teamwork, and faith. Coaches also recognize players weekly for Christlike traits like kindness or encouragement.
