EVALUATION INFORMATION

Evaluation and Orientation: In order to enhance our Upward program, we do an evaluation and orientations week. (The week of December 3)

We are requiring that each child and his or her parent(s) attend an evaluation session. All of the evaluation information will be communicated soon.

Every child must attend an evaluation. While the players and cheerleaders are being evaluated, parents will meet with the Upward director. The players will also be sized at this evaluation in order to ensure the uniform size is correct.

Evaluations will be held in the Family Life Center. Which is the large building with the overhang on the front of it. If you are unfamiliar with Lebanon Baptist Church, please follow the directional signs when you arrive.

Please note that all children who register will participate; however, as part of the registration process for basketball or cheerleading, all children will be evaluated. In order to communicate that information to you as parents, you will be contacted via email by the Upward director. It is imperative that you provide your primary email address and mobile number when registering your child.
