Upward Basketball and Cheerleading

This winter, we are participating in Upward at St. Matthews Baptist Church: Shawn is coaching the Panthers (1st and 2nd grade boys), Andrew is on his team, and Abigail is cheering. http://www.smbcupward.com/

Dawn and I like the Upward program because it combines skill knowledge, devotions, and Bible memorization. The kids like Upward because it's FUN!

Last week was our first week for practice in basketball and cheerleading, and the Panthers learned the meaning behind the Upward stars. This week's skills include: triple threat, lay up, stealing, and pivoting. Abigail reviewed chants from last year and learned some jumps. Our games begin in January.

If you'd like to be an "Upward Angel," just remember to pray for the Panthers and their coaches on Thursday nights and the cheerleading squads.
