ROCSPORTS.
UPWARD SPORTS IS NOW ROCSPORTS. SAME QUALITY PROGRAM, SAME SPORTS, SAME FUN FOR YOUR KIDS JUST A NEW NAME FOR IMMANUEL’S YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAM.
ROCSPORTS is the sports ministry of Immanuel Baptist Church. Through sports leagues, we hope to help people come to know what it means to have a relationship with God through Jesus. This is our priority. We also hope to see our participants develop relationships with one another and find community in our church.
Our Youth Sports leagues are designed to help any child, regardless of their athletic ability, have a fun learning experience through sports. Each child will receive equal playing time, loving instruction from a caring coach, devotions from the Bible at each practice, and prayer before every game. Currently, the sports we offer are basketball, soccer, and cheerleading. Soccer season is August through October and Basketball / Cheerleading season is December through February. We also offer camps in the summer. Youth sports leagues are offered for kids in Kindergarten through high school and for boys and girls. Sign ups will always be available through this website and in person at the ROC.

Bradley Stevenson
Upward Sports Director
I have been blessed to be a part of ROCSPORTS at Immanuel since it started back in 1997. For someone who loves Jesus, sports and kids, ROCSPORTS was a great fit for me personally and my family to combine all three loves into a ministry.
