Sharon offers an Upward Basketball and Cheerleading Program for K5 through 6th Graders. Upward promotes character and self-esteem in every child by:
- Providing an evaluation system that promotes equal teams and opportunities
- Establishing a one-hour practice and game each week
- Implementing a substitution system for each team, allowing every child equal playing time
