The mission of the Nashville Celtics youth basketball program is to assist in the emotional, physical and spiritual well being and development of young men in Middle Tennessee. Our Organization exists to develop the young men as athletes, and more importantly, as responsible citizens for themselves as well as our community. In that progression,  the Nashville Celtics' program and staff are committed to assuring that Participants continue on to college and are largely supported by sport scholarships.  Basketball  and tournament play is the 'spark' that draws a young person to associate with the Nashville Celtics.  Our coaches and Programs then focus youth on skill development, team building, and discipline as essential life skills.    Youth participating in our programs are focused on drug free, gang free self determination.  Their commitment evolves routines for active and healthy living.
