MISSION STATEMENT:

Backfield in Motion is a non-profit organization that combines academics and athletics to inspire inner city boys to reach their maximum potential in order to become significant contributors to society.


WHAT WE DO:

In keeping with its Mission Statement, Backfield in Motion provides year-round programs for Nashville boys which include academic tutoring, personal mentoring, athletic training and sports leagues. 

Lessons that stress life skills and personal character development are woven into our programs.  Our coaches and tutors regularly point to examples of how these life skills apply to competition, school, home and in the community.

Personal relationships enable us to reach and connect with our student participants.  Developing and maintaining these relationships are our staff’s highest priority and critical to the organization's overall success. We strengthen that connection by meeting regularly with their parents and teachers to ensure that our students are progressing in all aspects of their lives.
