So, what is i9 Sports you ask? i9 Sports® is a youth sports organization offering leagues, camps, and clinics for boys and girls ages 3-14 in today's most popular team sports such as flag football, soccer, basketball and baseball. i9 Sports was founded in 2003 by Chairman & Founder Frank Fiume on the principle that the number one reason kids play organized sports is to have fun, not to become the next draft pick.
Our mission at i9 Sports is to help kids succeed in life through sports. Sounds like a big task right? We have found that in the process of coaching our team sports, we are able to help children develop self-discipline, determination, teamwork and good sportsmanship and many other valuable life skills through sports participation.
Our goal is simple – to put the FUN back into youth sports. i9 Sports offers an alternative to the hyper-competitive, win-at-all-cost culture that you will find in many other youth sports leagues today. We provide our families with the i9 Sports Experience which is focused on fun, safety and convenience.
