Using the power of sports to share the gospel and promote the discovery of Jesus in every community
Trinity UMC Upward Basketball and Cheerleading League
Since 2008, Trinity UMC’s Upward program has introduced children and families to Christ through sports. This fun, supportive environment allows children to learn athletic fundamentals and life lessons through competition and cooperation.
We are offering basketball and cheerleading for kindergarten through second grade students for the 2025 season. All games and practices are held at Trinity United Methodist Church (903 Forest Avenue, Henrico VA 23229).
