VOTED BEST EVER BY THE KIDS The plan was to do something special to celebrate the 10th anniversary for our league. We hit it out of the park. Never has there been a more crowd participation and high energy family/kids event held in the Jarvis TCLC gym. The theme was to inspire families to think like a team, parents and kids participated on stage and from their seats in a variety of games and challenges. A Biblical message was woven throughout the activities which include: lights, visual effects, a unique soundtrack and loads of action! Upward volunteers went LIVE with just 90 min. of instructions prior to showtime. They were awesome
