UPWARD Basketball
Second Baptist Church just finished their 19th year of providing UPWARD basketball to our community.
At Second Baptist we utilize UPWARD Basektball to invest in our community. Life skills are learned in playing sports and our desire is to provide a learning and playing environment that is beneficial to the entire family. Here are some of the differences of UPWARD; practice one night a week and play one game a week, learning Scripture verses, and providing an environment in which the young athlete is encouraged by fans, referees, and coaches in learning and growing as a player.
