i9 Sports is a unique franchise that offers youth sports leagues, camps and after-school programs for children ages three to 14. By providing programs that focus on more than 10 of the most popular team sports, i9 Sports has grown nearly 50% in the past year alone. As we continue to expand we’re looking for enthusiastic individuals to join us. If you have a passion for sports, enjoy working with children and are business-oriented this may be the perfect opportunity for you.

Why i9 Sports?
This is an ideal time to join the fast-growing youth sports industry. Consider the following:

• Over 42 million children participate in youth sports each year according to Sports Illustrated: Youth Sports Backgrounder.
• Youth sports are a recession-resistant sector. Regardless of economic fluctuations, parents typically find a way to keep their children in sports programs.
• Demand for our programs and services continues to grow- Budget cutbacks and staff reductions have led to a surge in the number of local parks and recreation departments, schools, and churches seeking out our services.
• The widespread awareness of the dangers that childhood obesity poses has prompted many Americans to seek fun, engaging programs that increase their children’s activity levels. Participation in sports has many benefits beyond exercise. Children who participate in organized sports perform better academically, have better interpersonal skills, are more team-oriented, and are generally healthier overall.
• The i9 Sports franchise is an affordable, home-based opportunity that offers personal flexibility and freedom, requires no upfront inventory, and does not require costly real estate expenses.

Capitalize on the Demand for Youth Sports Programs
The "i9 Sports Experience" is redefining youth sports across the nation with a focus on fun and good sportsmanship versus the win-at-all-cost, hyper-competitive approach taken by many youth leagues today. We believe that sports should be a fun, safe experience, where kids can learn basic athletic skills, good sportsmanship, and increase their self-esteem. Unlike some sports leagues, children who participate in our programs don’t sit on the sidelines. By offering parents easy online registration, minimal practices and an extraordinary level of organization, i9 Sports franchisees also enjoy the advantages of owning a business that features repeat business.
