The 2007-2008 Royals Basketball and Cheerleading season is under way. The tryouts are over and the games have begun. Sports are a very big part of student life here at Upper Room. When our Varsity teams play the gym is usually filled to capacity. The hotdogs and hamburgers are on the grill. The soft drinks are on ice. And the fans come out to cheer their teams on for the IPSALL and New York State Championships.
Our Royal Varsity Boys are the current NYS class B High School Basketball Champions! Our Varsity Girls placed second in their IPSALL division. And our JV boys are always in the running for the current IPSALL tittle. We also have a dynamic squad of stunting cheerleaders. Each year the coachs and teams strive for new levels of excellence in their chosen sport while putting God first in all they do!
Along with teaching a good work ethic, teamwork, perserverance, self control and discipline many students receive scholarships to great Colleges and Universitys for their abilities as an athlete. That's why athletics play a large role here at Upper Room. Our philosophy is "growing up in Christ spirit, soul and body". Athletics helps in the formation of good charecter and helps to build the skills necessary for life's challenges.
Paul said in 1st Corinthians 9, " Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptable".
Grace and Peace,
Ed
