SCN Upward Soccer

Want to make a real impact in a kid’s life this summer? Upward Soccer Camp is more than drills and games. It is about encouragement, confidence, and showing kids the love of Jesus in a way they will never forget. 😄

We need volunteers to help make it happen. Register today to volunteer!

June 7–11 from 5:30–8 PM

We would like to wish our Upward Family a very Happy Easter!

“And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
— ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭5‬-‭6‬‬

From your SCN UPWARD Soccer Family we want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas! Hope you all are staying warm, making memories, and sipping a good cup of hot chocolate!

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, good will toward men.”
— ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭14‬‬

This month, we are highlighting what we are thankful for as a ministry - and today, we want to thank the many Upward Sports families participating in a league this season. We are grateful you have joined in on the fun and decided to play in an Upward Sports League! We hope you have a great experience, make new connections, and hear about God’s love for you!⚽🏀🏈🏐🥎🥎📣🏓

If your family is participating this fall/winter, comment to let us know where you’re playing!

And just like that, another incredible season is wrapped up with a bow!

“Church” leagues may not always get the spotlight—but they shine in ways that truly matter. Because here, it’s not just about the scoreboard. It’s about watching a 9-year-old pull off a flip throw-in with pure joy. It’s about Faith first, Fun second, and Purpose always.

Together, we play with heart, grow in spirit, and build something that lasts far beyond the field!

🏆 Our 2025 UPWARD Season Has Come to an End… for Now! 🥲

Just like Frosty the Snowman, we’ll be back again next year! ⛄️
It’s getting chilly out there, and we don’t want to become snowmen ourselves! ❄️😂

This season was truly one to remember — full of friendships, fun, and amazing memories! 💛
We had record-breaking numbers, new faces, and more smiles than ever before!

We saw bravery, teamwork, and kindness shine on every field.
One goalie even got kicked in the head — and stood up still holding the ball! 💪🔥
Now that’s what UPWARD spirit looks like!

Our players learned about justice, courage, and compassion, and we watched those lessons grow in their hearts every single game. 🌟

To our awesome parents, coaches, and volunteers — THANK YOU!
You cheered, supported, and helped make this season unforgettable. ❤️

So until next year… rest up, stay warm, and remember:
Once an UPWARD player, always an UPWARD player! 💫

FAITH, FUN, AND PURPOSE!!

SCN UPWARD!
Faith, Fun, Purpose!

A gigantic thank you to Pizza Ruhls, our pizza heroes! They've provided pizzas for our end-of-season parties every single year and we can't thank them enough! Their pizza is so awesome that some kids *may* join just for that! Some were willing to party in the rain for a slice of Pizza Ruhls goodness! They've got amazing food, top-notch service, and the friendliest people! You can't ask for more! For your next shindig, order from Pizza Ruhls and get ready for a taste sensation! With Pizza Ruhls, your kids will “RUHL” their sports league!

Saturday SCN UPWARD Soccer kicked off our first game for the Fall with some Faith, Fun, and Purpose!

We had kids as young as 4 all the way up to the 7th grade getting out on the field and just enjoying the great game of soccer!

All thanks to our many coaches, referees, parents, and especially the church leaders and kind hearted members who help keep our program going!
