Several struggling sports youth groups in metro Atlanta recently received field makeovers courtesy of new feel-good Nickelodeon show “Play It Forward” starring Atlanta Dream part-owner Renee Montgomery and Nickelodeon vet Kel Mitchell.
Each of the six episodes features a different sport such as wheelchair basketball, volleyball and lacrosse. The show, which shot from August through October, debuted Wednesday and will air weekly.
