Be a part of our team:
  • North Main Upward Sports is 100% volunteer and this season we plan on having 22 teams; however, we cannot be successful without your help. Please help us by volunteering in our concession stand, the Snack Shack. By donating a few hours during the season, you can really help create a loving atmosphere for our kids and families. The proceeds of the Snack Shack go directly back into our program to help pay for scholarships, referee costs and gym improvements. Be on the lookout for a signup email coming soon.  
Teams:
  • We will be drafting teams right after evaluations. Within a few days of the draft, your coach will contact you to introduce themselves and review their practice day and time. If you don’t hear from your coach by Saturday, February 8th, please let me know as sometimes communication errors can occur.
Practices:
  • Practices will start the week of February 10th with an optional practice on Saturday, February 15th. Your coach will set your practice days and times, and they should stay consistent from week to week. Your team will practice for one hour one day per week and all practices will be at North Main Street Church of God’s gym.
Games:
  • The games will be on Saturday mornings starting February 22nd. Game times are looking to start anytime between 8-6pm. We mix the game times up from week to week as we know that the kids are involved in other activities, and this ensures they won’t miss many games. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your respective games for your coach to go through final preparations and to help us line up the kids for the pre-game introductions. When you arrive at the gym on game day, your child will go upstairs into the Life Center and meet with their team. Parents can go up or stay in the gym. Cheerleaders will be cheering at the 10 o’clock games.

 

Enjoy a week off:
  • There will be no practice or games the week of March 10-15 due to a conference at the church so enjoy a rare week off!

 

Awards Ceremony:
  • April 5th will end the regular season with an Awards Ceremony following each respective game. Please join your child and their team for some fun to celebrate an amazing season!! All family members are welcome.
Hoops Hoopla:
  • April 11-13, we will be ending our season with a single elimination tournament. As of now, games will be as follows:
    • 4th Grade: Friday, April 19th 6-9pm and Saturday, April 20th 8-12pm
    • 6th Grade: Saturday, April 20th 12-7pm
    • 5th Grade: Sunday, April 21st 2-7pm
Snow:
  • Our policy is if Butler Area School District cancels school or afternoon activities, then practices for that evening will be cancelled. Game day cancellations will be determined by 7 o’clock that morning and will be communicated through Facebook and e-mail. This is only for snow cancellations. If Butler has a scheduled day off, there will still be practice.
Communication:
  • Your coach will be your main source of communication for your individual team. Please double check your email and cell phone information so they can stay in touch with you during the season. Also, please “like” our Facebook page “North Main Upward Sports” for up-to-date information on snow cancellations, game day information and upcoming events.
Commitment:
  • We would like to keep the team sizes small, so your child has more opportunity to play and learn, but this takes your commitment. Please try your best to be at every practice and game and if you are not able to attend, please let your coach know so he/she can plan accordingly.
Conflicts:
  • We are all here to make sure your son/daughter has the best experience possible. Sometimes questions and concerns may arise, especially during game days. Please allow for a 24-hour cooling-off period before approaching your coach. If you and your coach cannot come to a resolution, the coach, parents, and player will meet with Justin Miller at a time convenient for all parties. 
Contacts:

Thank you for being a part of the fastest growing basketball league in Butler. Please feel free to pray throughout the season for the spiritual and physical health of our players, the wisdom and integrity of our coaches and encouragement from our parents. 

Looking forward to an amazing season!!
