We are beyond grateful for all of the kids and coaches that have come through our programs. In our next 20 years, we hope to continue teaching the youth sports community including coaches, parents, other organizations, and athletes the true meaning of being a youth athlete.

Yes, learning the athletics skills you need to play a sport is important, but communication, problem-solving, leadership, and even building relationships are other skills sports teach along the way that shouldn't be forgotten behind keeping score and winning championships.

Thank you to all of our national and local staff, Area Developers, Program Directors, volunteer coaches, and parents for helping us make a difference for 20 years. We couldn't do it without you, here's to the next 20! 🎉

What's your first thought when you hear the word safety in terms of youth sports?

Is it helmets, flag football, injury prevention, mental health? One of the ways we promote safety in youth sports is encouraging the exploration of multiple sports at a young age. Athletes that specialize in one sport at an early age are 90% more likely to suffer from overuse injuries than multi-sport athletes. At i9 Sports, we offer multiple sports to help kids diversify their athletic abilities!
