A Word
From Our Upward Director
My name is John Tuck, and I’m excited to serve as the Upward Director here at GraceLife. Our goal is to provide a positive, encouraging experience where your child can grow in their skills, build friendships, have fun, and learn the value of teamwork and good sportsmanship.
We are continually looking for ways to improve our practices, games, and overall Upward experience for both players and families. We’re also excited to continue growing our cheerleading program and creating a great environment for every child who participates.
More than anything, we want your family to feel welcomed and connected while you are here. GraceLife offers many other opportunities for children and families throughout the year, and we would love to help you learn more about them.
We’re looking forward to a great Upward season with you and your family!
