Nationally established in 1995, Upward Sports is the world’s largest Christian youth sports provider. Upward Sports is the only organization that offers the 360 Progression™, a uniquely designed total sports experience that adapts and expands as players grow in their personal athletic journeys. The 360 Progression develops total athletes mentally, athletically, spiritually, and socially – producing players who excel both on and off the field.

Today, approximately half a million players at more than 2,000 churches in 47 states participate in camps, clinics, and leagues through Upward Sports’ Recreation Division.

In 2013-14 seven Upward leagues across Northern Cincinnati banded together to form what is now known as the Southwest Ohio Upward League (SOUL). Each year the partnership has expanded as Upward Leagues around Southwestern Ohio have joined together under the common goal of improving the lives of our youth Mentally, Athletically, Spiritually and Socially. We are still going strong today!

The Southwest Ohio Upward League looks forward to being a positive influence on many lives this year and going forward !
