Our Impact

Backfield in Motion programs are designed to educate, engage, and empower young people from some of Metro Nashville’s most underserved communities. We provide a continuum of services from elementary school through high school and beyond. Our programs equip youth with critical skills for success in both school and life, offering them the opportunity to practice and develop these skills in a safe, supportive environment.

Starting with children in our elementary school program and continuing through middle school, high school, college, and beyond, Backfield in Motion engages hundreds of students each year. We focus on the crucial out-of-school hours when students are most at risk, providing meaningful activities that foster growth and development.
