Faculties are awesome but they need to care for their customers.. I pay $70 to play 5 games in a season. Yiu can provide a water bottle at least. Or if that's too much, put some ice on the coolers. Water is warm.. Come on!

Super clean. Fun safe place. Well organized and ample parking. Multiple sports fields and courts. Clean restrooms and reasonable concessions.

My parent experience was that there was poor communication, initially blamed on COVID. Spent over 2k on club volleyball and was told by email that I didn’t pay two fees, I provided a screenshot of one receipt, finance didn’t even respond. I emailed the coach about communication and she cc’d her director in the response which stated that she majored in communication- which I guess means she is actually a good communicator, she offered a sit down meeting with her Director (that she cc’d) who didn’t respond to any of the emails. I reached out to the executive director in hopes of minimizing a situation that seemed to be getting worse. He did not respond either. My daughter said she felt like her coach didn’t like her and that’s not something any parent wants to hear. I would never recommend Upward to any parent under the existing leadership. The leadership doesn’t reflect Christian behavior which is so disappointing. There are scriptures displayed on the walls but the music is not reflective of Christian values, displaying poor language and negative messages that are incongruent. Upward really needs to look at leadership and clean it up. Maybe the good reviews are based on parents wanting their kids to play sports at any expense. I suggest Upward sending out online surveys or paper surveys after each event to help them hold staff accountable, the same way these young coaches want to hold our children accountable. I hope they realize punitive punishment is not the Christian way. Kids need love, kindness and staff should be one more supportive factor instead of another stressor.

How does someone find an adult league team to play on?

David Llaverias | Mar 21, 2018
Anna Marie Spackman | Mar 22, 2018

They have a day when they form the leagues, you just need to show up that day. You can come with a team already together or just as an individual and they will help you put together a team. The leagues last a couple of months, then they start over again. They also have free play days when you can just show up and practice or play, so you don't have to be involved with a league to play. Some people meet and form teams there.

Why can't upward have a team in Minnesota

Dyn Production | Mar 21, 2018

Nerdgamer 11, GREAT question! Upward would lo be nothing more than to expand its reach. If you are interested in having a team in Minnesota, go to the Upward website. A simple search can help you find a team near you, and if there isn't one, they can certainly help you with information to start one of your own.
