Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2025 National Convention in Tampa, FL! 🏅 We believe leadership in youth sports is a privilege, and it was a privilege to spend the last week learning more about growing our youth sports communities around the nation. 🏠 We are passionate about helping ALL kids succeed in life through sports. No matter what age or skill-level, sports should be your safe space and your home away from home. 💡 We are hungry to seize opportunities and try new things. We talked about new ideas, new technology, and new styles of coaching. 🏆 We are driven to be the standard in youth sports, and we are thrilled to have so many people and sponsors on board with us as we strive to achieve our mission every day. We can't wait to see where the next year takes us. #YouthSports #TheWayYouthSportsShouldBe #Growth

⚾ From the Phillies to i9 Sports— Shane Watson has discovered a new passion after his career in professional baseball. “I started playing baseball and football year-round at a really young age. I missed birthdays, weekends, just being a kid. When I saw the i9 model in action, I thought, ‘this is what youth sports should feel like." We're thrilled to have you and your family on our team Shane!
