The i9 Sports Association was established in 2006 as a non-profit organization. Reorganized in 2011 to expand its reach nationally, our mission is to promote youth athletic participation, provide financial assistance to youth who cannot otherwise afford to participate in athletic activities and educate the public on the health and wellness benefits of athletic participation.
With more than 30 local chapters nationally, i9 Sports Association is making a difference in communities nationwide.

- Playing sports is fun. It gives kids a sense of belonging to a group and develops new friendships.
- Research has found that kids who play sports, especially girls, have higher levels of confidence and self-esteem.
- Motor skills, strategic thinking, teamwork and leadership skills are learned by playing sports.
