Athletics -
Athletic programs are used as the carrot to keep students involved in
the day-to-day activities designed to develop our students into
well-rounded individuals.
Backfield in Motion utilizes experienced coaches
and volunteers to teach all participants sound technique and overall
sports awareness. Backfield in Motion builds confidence in our
participants by teaching position-specific technique, game knowledge and work
ethic as they try out for their respective school teams.
Backfield in Motion affords participants an
opportunity to play in organized sports leagues that teach the rules of
the game, good sportsmanship, teamwork, competiveness and commitment,
all the while encompassing the close-knit family atmosphere. Our
participants are then encouraged to put what they have learned into play
while competing with other like-minded surrounding Middle Tennessee
sports leagues.
Fall Football...
Our football league is organized around Nashville community
centers.

Coaching Staff...
The coaching staff at Backfield in Motion is
experienced and prepared!
Every coach has playing and coaching
experience, has attended or graduated from college, and is chosen based
on his own character and merit.
Through sports, our coaches help kids
understand life lessons, like what it means to succeed and fail, and how
to deal with setbacks and frustrations. Our coaches build personal
relationships with Backfield in Motion youth that hopefully will lead to continued
participation in our programs and activities and will keep the boys on a
positive path, away from the temptations of the street.
