Welcome to Upward Fall Soccer League 2025!

We’re excited to kick off our second season and hope this page gives you everything you need to sign up to play or volunteer.
After a great first year, we’re expanding! Our league now welcomes kids ages 4 (by October 25, 2025) through 12.

What makes our league different?

  • No Sundays – We believe families deserve Sundays off.
  • Simple Schedule – One practice and one game per week, with all games on Saturdays.
  • Healthy Competition – We focus on fun, respect, teamwork, and honesty—for players, families, and volunteers.
Though the league is hosted at a church, everyone is welcome—whether you attend church or not. This league is about building a positive community through soccer.
