Upward Flag Football

Upward Flag Football is a ministry designed to use flag football to teach each child about SALVATION, CHARACTER, and SELF-ESTEEM as they learn the skills of the game of flag football.

Upward Flag Football is for players Kindergarten through Grade 8. Many players participate in the Upward Sports programs with First Baptist Oviedo from around the community. You can learn more at Upward Sports.
