Update from Up2Us Sports’ Founder & CEO
In this time of uncertainty, we are reminded of the important role that Up2Us Coaches and national service can play in addressing issues of community health and safety. Up2Us Sports is well aware that protecting our communities at this moment means minimizing exposure and that this will inevitably disrupt our programs. The health and well-being of our coaches and the youth they serve is of utmost importance.
