Notes
STRUCTURAL KEY FOR SC. Upward Sports is headquartered in Spartanburg, so church-based youth sports has unusually deep roots in this state. Predominantly flag rather than tackle, so likely adjacent competition - but it competes for the same families, seasons and gym/field time, and its home-state brand recognition is high.
Seasons, fees and registration windows change. Confirm with the league before you pay. Our record: Medium. What our tiers mean
