[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience is that Upward leagues are for special needs kids from religious families; kids who for a variety of reasons, wouldn't be able to handle the frenetic, fast paced competitive environment of local youth sports. Emphasis on participation, not even skill building. A team sport for those unsuited elsewhere and for non athletes. My nephew from a non religious family played one season I basketball. He has anxiety and a sensory processing disorder. Very difficult to be in a loud environment and wouldn't be able to listen to standard coaching directions from sidelines. Nephew made it through one season, but really isn't athletic or sports-minded.[/quote] Not true in my experience at all. Most of the kids on my son's team also played for their school team. They saw it as extra practice time.[/quote]
