Pataskala Nazarene is excited to be affiliated with the national Upward Sports Organization providing a local league for the youth of Pataskala and the surrounding areas to participate in the Upward Soccer and Basketball seasons.

Upward Sports, the world's largest Christian sports league for children, provides a fun kid's sport experience based on healthy competition. In 2010, more than 550,000 K4 through eighth-grade kids had a great basketball, soccer, flag football or cheer leading experience through one of the 2,400 leagues or camps.

Running August through October, the 8-week Soccer season draws young athletes from ages 4 through the eighth-grade. Games are Saturday mornings on the Pataskala Nazarene property and draw hundreds of parents, family members, and friends to watch the exciting games. Concessions are available with candy, chips, drinks, and even pulled chicken sandwiches! If you are going to attend, check the schedule below for game times. Bring a chair, maybe a blanket, and your enthusiasm to enjoy youth sports at its best.

Thinking about how you might be able to get involved? Volunteers are ALWAYS needed. Before the season we need coaches, helpers, and support staff. During the season we also need volunteers to help with devotions and concessions. If you would be interested, please contact the church and we will get you connected to the proper people.
