Article has been improved.

Looking at the history of this page, the content has been updated and there are several external sources available. I say this page is looking like a lot of other articles we have in the wiki and the tags can be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.54.128.66 (talk) 19:09, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Updates[edit]

I represent Upward Sports via DeMoss. Would it be possible to make changes to the first paragraph to reflect updated information? The league no longer has ball hockey in Canada but now offers volleyball and baseball. The first line should read:

Upward Sports is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Spartanburg, South Carolina, United States. It is a Christian sports league designed for kids in grades K5–8 offering six sports programs: basketball, flag football, soccer, volleyball, baseball and cheerleading.

Also, could we update the quote in the second block of text, removing "Skills for the sports arena and values of life" and replace it? Could read as:

Upwards Sports was founded in 1995 by Caz McCaslin to provide children with "the development of the youth athlete mentally, athletically, socially and spiritually." While training children with the athletic skills needed to participate at the next level, Upward Sports stresses biblical values—such as leadership, teamwork, integrity and respect—as much as winning.^[1]

Thank you in advance for your help. Let me know what else is necessary for changes.
