Upward Basketball at Fremont Presbyterian Church

A Fun, Faith-Friendly Sports Experience for Kids

For nearly two decades, Fremont Presbyterian Church has partnered with Upward Sports to bring a Christ-centered basketball program to families in our community. Each season, hundreds of children learn not only the fundamentals of the game, but also the values of teamwork, integrity, and faith that last far beyond the court.

Upward Volleyball at Fremont Presbyterian Church

Upward Volleyball is a Christ-centered volleyball league for students who are in 5th through 8th grade to unite over the game of volleyball and learn about Jesus. We will offer two types of participation, a recreation league and a competitive league. The recreation league is geared towards players who have had little to no experience with volleyball and practices will be focused on developing beginner skills and understanding the game. The competitive league is best for players with more experience and its practices will develop and extend skills as well as teach more complex aspects of the game such as different rotations and plays. 

Stay tuned for Upward Volleyball registration for the 2027 season.
