Upward Basketball was founded by Caz McCaslin. Since its beginning in 1986, the emphasis has been upon Christ-likeness and good sportsmanship, not championships and trophies.
It was founded upon the verse, Colossians 3:17 - “Whatever you do, whether in word of deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
