Welcome to Upward Program at Mt. Harmony Baptist Church where Every Child IS a Winner!
Sports are a great way for children to learn about teamwork, respect for authority and sportsmanship. The sad part is all those things are being lost in today's sporting society. With an Upward sport, these key essentials are included to create the best sporting experience for every child that participates. Each Upward Sport is designed to reveal the winner in every child. Every child plays. Every child learns. Every child IS a winner!
Mt. Harmony Baptist Church is excited about our second Upward basketball and cheerleading season. The 2009-2010 basketball and cheerleading season started in December and will wrap up with a Celebration on February 21.
We look forward to having your child join us this Winter as we kickoff our second Upward Basketball and Cheerleading season.
