Thank you for visiting our Upward Program!

Upward Basketball season is closed. Upward Soccer is just around the corner. If you are interested in participating in Upward Soccer, please read below for more information.

Parents LOVE to see their children have fun and be successful in every arena they may participate. So why does this desire often turn into disaster when that arena is sports? Athletics allow children to gain all the essentials we want for them: fun, improving skills, friendships, discipline, and many more. Studies show that 73% of kids quit playing sports by the age 13 because it is no longer fun, and that is just not acceptable. We at The River are committed to helping children develop spiritually, physically, mentally and socially through sports.

Currently The River offers two sports programs thru Upward Ministries; Flag Football in the Fall and Upward Basketball in the Winter. If your child is interested in participating in one of these programs, select the Register tab above during Open Enrollment to learn how. To view the Award Ceremony Highlight videos select the Videos tab.

The River's sister church The Rock also offers SOCCER for boys and girls ages 4 yrs old through 6th grade. The Rock is located at 11400 Linden Road, Fenton, MI 48430. Evaluations begin March 29th.
