Backfield in Motion

All virtual programs are open to youth enrolled at any MNPS middle school. However, if/when virtual afterschool programs return to an in-person format, an in-person option will ONLY be available to youth enrolled at the listed associated school(s).

Backfield in Motion will provide an onsite and virtual extended learning program for male students enrolled at the John Early MS in the Metro Nashville Public School system. Certified Metro Nashville Public School teachers will host ZOOM classes in reading/language arts and homework help. Backfield in Motion will employ Program Coordinators to teach character education and mentor the students. The Rites of Passage curriculum taught in Metro schools will be used by our staff to improve the students social and emotional learning. Enrichment activities will include E-sports and various other electronic games.
