Upward Soccer offers a unique soccer experience for all participants. Upward Soccer implements a 4v4 format.

1. Why 4v4?

Players will touch the ball more often during a game, have more involved playing time during a game, have more opportunities to play on both sides of the ball, have more opportunities to score goals, and learn to play the game within the game(4v4=soccer at its simplest form). Multiple case studies support these benefits as well as others not listed above.
