Crystal Lake church opens registration for youth basketball and cheerleading programs

Families in the Crystal Lake community are invited to register for Upward Sports, a Christ-centered sports experience for boys and girls in kindergarten through fifth grade, at Immanuel Lutheran Church and School, 300 S. Pathway Court. Registration is open through Nov. 30.

Offering both basketball and cheerleading, Upward at Immanuel provides young athletes with an encouraging environment where they can develop athletic skills while growing in confidence, character, friendships, and faith. Through practice, games, and positive coaching, children learn valuable life lessons that extend far beyond the court.

Whether your child is trying a sport for the first time or continuing to develop their skills, Upward provides a welcoming place to learn, compete, and thrive. The program is open to children throughout the community, regardless of church affiliation.

Upward at Immanuel has been serving families in the Crystal Lake community since 2009, helping young athletes discover the joy of sports while building a strong foundation of faith and character.

Families can learn more and register online at ImmanuelCL.org/upward.

For additional information, contact Mark Nothdorf, Upward director, at mnothdorf@immanuelcl.org.
