Upward - Game Day Host
Game Day hosts will attend the scheduled games for Upward basketball and help check students in, socialize with the parents, and be there to represent God's love. The host will be comfortable talking to strangers and taking advantage of opportunities to share the love of God. They will be a connection point for families interested in getting involved or getting to know more about next steps in their faith.
There is down time during the games! Ideally you can plant yourself in the bleachers and strike up a conversation with some parents. It's likely that hosts will be serving [free] coffee from behind the table as well.
Upward - Half Time Talk
Each halftime we have a unique opportunity to get the crowd's attention and speak a little truth and encouragement into their lives. For 3-4 minutes you will direct and audience participation activity to entertain and get everyone's attention; then for another 3-4 minutes you'll speak on a virtue, verse, or present a personal testimony and then end with prayer.
We have activities and talks all prepared and can provide them to you, or you can present your own. This is what Upward Basketball is all about - taking advantage of the many touchpoints to demonstrate and speak to God's love.
