Company Overview

Founded in Tampa, Florida, i9 Sports® is the nation's first and largest youth sports league franchise business, serving families in more than 500 communities nationwide.

Since 2003, i9 Sports has been built on one simple belief: kids play sports because they love the game—not because every child is trying to become the next professional athlete.

We provide youth sports leagues, camps, and clinics for children ages 3-17 in today's most popular sports, including flag football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and more.

Our mission is to create the best possible youth sports experience by focusing on fun, safety, convenience, and good sportsmanship.

We believe sports should help children build confidence, learn teamwork, create friendships, and develop skills that last far beyond the playing field.

"It's the way youth sports should be."
