Frequently Asked Questions

In working with our Covid Advisory Team here at Trinity Baptist Church, we have determined that masks will not be required during active play. However, masks will be required when kids are not actively practicing or playing (i.e. sitting on the bench, in devotion time, halftime, etc.). Masks will also be required for coaches and spectators.

Yes!

Registration is now open for Members and Regular Attenders of Trinity Baptist Church here.

Community Registration will open on October 4th @7PM at https://registration.upward.org/UPW80329

Sorry, due to the overwhelming demand for our program, we do not allow non-Trinity members to register before October 4 @ 7PM. Our members do receive priority in registration. Typically, our membership accounts for only 15% of all of the registered participants.

Registration is conducted on a first come/first serve basis. We anticipate filling our 240 spots for basketball players this season on the first registration day. Once this deadline occurs, or the leagues are full (whichever comes first), we will then begin notifying families of their status. Our preference to notify families is via email.

All Upward basketball and cheerleading programs are independently run by the host church. Trinity has no other affiliation with Upward programs in the Raleigh area. If you are unable to play in our league, we will refund/return your registration and fees. You will need to register again with another program.

Each player or cheerleader is subject to a $100 registration fee. All online registrations can accept credit cards. We accept checks and cash for Trinity Member registration but no credit cards in the Church Office. Please make checks out to “Trinity Baptist Church” or “TBC”. Scholarships are available for families with a need for assistance.

Please refer to our “Important Dates to Remember” for dates and times for Evaluations, Orientation, Practices, Games, etc.
