• Assistant Coach: Make a difference in the lives of children by helping the head coach teach both athletic skills and values for success on and off the court.  Use this  time to see if you might want to be a head coach in the future.  Time Commitment: 2 1/2 – 3 hours a week

• Advertising: Help spread the word about our league!  Do you own a business or know of a place where we can distribute brochures in our community?  Help us reach more children and families by making our league known to those in our community who would not hear about it at our church.  Time Commitment: Will vary depending on advertising tactics

• Greeters: Show us your smile!  We need you to be a greeter at Upward events.  Yes, merely by making yourself available to welcome players, cheerleaders, parents, and other fans to our events you can show the love of Christ and help deliver an excellent sports experience.  You can join them in the stands to make them feel welcome.  Time Commitment: 1 hour a week
• Scorekeepers: Scorekeepers help run a professional game atmosphere and provide a competitive nature for the games.  Upward recommends that score be kept only for 3rd graders and above.  Time Commitment: 1-4 hours
