Hello Upward Families! We have just over a week left until registration closes on 9/30/26 for the leagues at NPUMC (Grades K5 thru 4). Our numbers are looking good for both basketball and cheer. We still have spots open in all grade levels, but those spots will fill up quickly in the last few days of registration!

Upward 2027 Season Info and Registration Link!

All evaluations, practices, and games for Basketball and Cheer this season for grades Kindergarten through 4th Grade will take place at NPUMC - just like last season.

**The link below is ONLY for the league at the NPUMC location**

**The registration link for the league at Zion (5th through 8th grade) will be shared at a later date.**

NPUMC and Zion Lutheran are still committed to partner together to provide Upward Basketball and Cheer in the New Palestine community. Due to software challenges and other logistical issues, we have made the decision to create separate leagues this season. This is the reason for two different registration links this season.

Please direct any communications for those specific leagues to those email addresses.

NPUMC Location Registration Info:
*Registration opens on 9/1/26.
*Registration closes on 9/30/26 (or when the league hits capacity).
*Evaluations will take place in October. I will share those dates via email to all participants after registration closes.
