BIG 6 stands for Believing In Greatness in our Nashville area (615) youth.

Camp is usually more than a day or two--like a summer camp. Whereas a clinic is a day or maybe a couple hours on a specific topic. (Such as shooting, dribbling, post moves, etc..)

Yes and no. Kids should be playing more than one sport to enjoy themselves and avoid burnout. They should be playing sports because they want to. There are times to specialize in one sport, but hopefully they'll continue to play the other sports as well. They shouldn't be pushed to not play a specific sport. Sometimes it's good for them to play something they are not necessarily wonderful at. It's good for them to see what their other teammates go through, when they're not the best player on the court or field. ​

We do a lot of the same stuff with the little kids that we do with the older kids, we just alter the intensity. A lot of the skills we teach are important from the beginning to the end. In football and soccer, you use a lot of the same drills with the training clinics that you use for the camps. Fundamentals don't really change. Same thing with the basketball camps. A pick and roll is still a pick and roll. A jump shot is a jump shot. If we can teach them the same skills, but at a younger age, we can help them avoid mistakes. It's a lot easier than trying to break a 15 or 16-year-old of those flaws. ​

The Big 6 Basketball Club is a select team basketball focused organization. The organization is based in Nashville, TN. The program is a volunteer non-profit organization that offers both boys and girls a great atmosphere for honing their basketball skills through professional coaching and competing in quality tournaments throughout the United States. We field both girls and boys teams from 8U through 17U (Varsity).

Our program is designed to offer the following: Give athletes an opportunity to play competitive basketball at an affordable price. Our priority is to provide an intense yet positive atmosphere. Teach sound basketball fundamentals and team skills. Give the players the experience of competing against the best. Provide an environment for players to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. Aid the players in competing in their high school programs. Offer college exposure by playing in national events. Create an atmosphere of teamwork that leads to a rewarding. experience. Provide maximum recruiting exposure for those players wishing to take their game to the college ranks.

Any player competing in a specific age division must remain in that same age division for any given tournament. On our Player Sign Up page you will find links to AAU which calculate the age group for your player. Generally we group our players by age grade.

The direct cost for participation in our program varies for each age group. Team fees are based on fixed expenses plus the number of tournaments. Typically, fees range from $500.00 for our younger teams to $750.00 for our high school teams. The higher fees for high school players are due to playing in exposure type tournaments which also have the most expensive registration fees. The player participation fee goes towards club expenses such as, gym fees, tournament registrations, coaching, insurance, etc. The AAU card with benefits, any costs associated with travel, lodging, food, shoes, socks, etc. are NOT covered by the player fee and are the individual players responsibility

Yes. Families with two players will recieve a 10% discount off total player participation fees, and families with 3 or more players will recieve a 15% discount off total player participation fees.

No - uniforms are not purchased by a player as a part of this fee. Uniforms are provided on a 'loan' basis by the club, but at all times remain the property of the club. Therefore, uniforms are not to be kept by a player and must be returned immediately upon seperation from the club, or before the last game of the season (set of uniforms not being worn in last game) and immediately following the last game of the season (set worn in last game).

The total registration fee is due no later than the start of the first team practice. Those wishing to do so may complete a form requesting an installment payment plan for fees. You may find a form for payment plan requests on the Player Sign Up page

No. Players, or the parents and guardians of players, are NOT asked to execute a contract committing to play for the Big 6 Basketball Club. All documents we require to be executed by players or parents are posted on our website for all to view. We believe in transparency as to the expectations of all parties is the best policy.

You must complete the online Player Registration. To register online and pay with a credit card you may click on the Player Sign Up link on the Home Page (when available) or the Sign Up link on the Travel Team page. You may also select the 'pay later' option and remit payment via check or money order as noted.

Teams are formed by tryout and invitation. We often learn about potential players through coach’s recommendations or player/parent inquiries, but our tryouts are very well attended and many players are selected through this process. Big 6 coaches may watch you play on your current team and evaluate your skill level, or ask you to come practice with a Big 6 team. Otherwise, players are selected via tryouts or camps. Criteria used for selecting players include 2 guards, 2 centers, 2 power forwards, etc. Each team will carry a minimum of 8 and generally not more than 11 full time players. (We emphasize a low player to coach ratio and provide as much instruction and playing time as possible.) Outstanding play, leadership, commitment, athletic ability, sportsmanship, and motivation are all qualities considered when selecting a player through tryout or invite.

Yes, we are always looking for donations or sponsorships to help defray the cost associated with the program. This program is a non-profit organization. Donations may be requested to be anonymous if so desired.

No. All of the teams will be organized to be competitive. The Big 6 program does NOT in any way guarantee equal playing time but tries to follow a 70/30 playing time guideline, circumstances permitting. Playing time is at the sole discretion of the coach and is based on attendance at practice, performance in the game, attitude, effort, match-ups, and game situations. Our focus at the competitive level is to balance playing time with winning, while putting the players on the floor that give us the best opportunity to win each game.

Practices are posted on our website and normally start around mid February for the younger teams and early March for older teams (Varsity and JV). Teams will practice in the Davidson county and Williamson county area. Each team may practice up to 2 times per week. Practices are 1½ to 2½ hours in length. Practice days and lengths vary by team.

Please contact us to check on the status of the age group you are looking for. Entirely new teams are formed each year, in each age group. Please check back or inquire further with the Director of Club operations as to what teams are forming. You could be the 'one more player' required to form a team! Lists are kept of all inquiries, to assure the best opportunity to form a new team.
