Evaluation Inclement Weather Plan

Upward Parents:
In case of inclement weather for Saturday or Monday's evaluations, we have reserved the church facilities and will move indoors, if needed. If we have to move indoors, we may have to scale a few things back, but we will proceed as planned.

See you Saturday/Monday!

Details on Upward Evaluations

Good morning!
Just wanted to pass on some details for Upward Evaluations . . . since we are now days away!

Evaluations will take place at NRBC in the grassy area near our recreation fields on Sat., February 4 from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. and on Mon., February 6 from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. Please stay tuned to this blog for weather related cancellations/re-scheduling. If we have to cancel due to inclement weather, it will be posted by one hour prior to the start time of the Evaluation.

Cheerleaders/Football players need to attend only one of the evaluations and plan to be here about 20-30 minutes, depending on lines. Football players will need to wear comfortable, athletic clothes/shoes as they will be doing 6 evaluation stations in skills such as speed, throwing the football, etc. We do these drills to help us try to create even teams so one team does not dominate in one division throughout the entire season.

As far as cheerleading, we do not "evaluate" their skills, we simply have 3 stations that will begin to build their cheerleading skills foundation and get them excited for the season.

Throughout the evaluation/orientation for both sports, you will also be meeting a lot of our coaches for the upcoming season ... feel free to talk to them and get to know them better! They are all excited about coaching your children this season.

We will be accepting new registrations through our last evaluation on Mon., February 6.

At the evaluations, you will receive important league schedules/calendars and information for the upcoming season. Your child will also have the opportunity to enter to win door prizes!

We are looking forward to a great season. If you have any questions, please contact the Upward Office at: lchristian@nansemondriver.org or (757) 484-3423.

Update: First week of Upward Practices moved back!

I apologize for a change in the schedule, but we are moving the first week of practices back one week – to the week of February 20 (instead of the 13). This still gives Coaches two practices with their teams, which is our usual # of allotted practices before a game. The Coaches Training, EVALS, and the first game will all stay the same. This just gives Coaches an extra week to prepare and contact players and us a few extra days to get rosters and schedules done.

Thanks for understanding.

Looking UPWARD,
Lizzy Christian
