Troy United Methodist Church hosts Upward Basketball and Cheerleading every year, inviting all families in the community to participate. Troy UMC has leagues for kids beginning at four years old and recently added its first high school league. 

Upward Sports is the world’s largest Christian sports program for children and is designed to not only teach kids about sports but to equip them with teamwork skills and a positive sportsmanship attitude. Every year, about one million children, coaches, referees and volunteers participate in Upward Sports leagues, and over 2,600 churches host these events.
