i9 Sports Leagues Descriptions
Flag Football League
Offering all the fun of tackle football without the same risk of injury, flag football is rapidly becoming the youth sport of choice among parents who question whether kids should play tackle football. Patterned after regular football, teams run or pass the ball down field in order to score a touchdown. The primary difference in flag football is that it is a “no contact” game. Instead of tackling the ball carrier, defensive players try to pull the flags off the ball carrier’s belt. It’s the perfect game for boys or girls ages 4 and up.
Soccer League
In a recent study by the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA), soccer was cited as the second most popular sport for boys and girls under the age of 13. Kids in the soccer programs learn the fundamentals of the game in a safe, “no contact” sport. While soccer is a great fit for all ages, it’s also a wonderful “starter” sport for kids as young as 3 years old to introduce them to team play!
Baseball League
i9’s baseball program teaches kids the basic fundamentals of how to catch, throw, hit, run, and be “baseball ready” in a fun, safe, real-game setting.
About i9 Sports Leagues and Programs
Practice
i9 encourages no more than one (1) practice per week, and for that practice to be held prior to the game, thus making it a once per week commitment for kids, parents, and coaches.
Equipment
The league provides each player with an official i9 Sports reversible jersey that your kids get to keep (the kids love the reversible jersey). Players may wear shorts or sweats of any type, as long as they do not have pockets or belt loops. Appropriate footwear includes tennis/athletic shoes with rubber soles or cleats.
Awards
Each week one kid from each team will be awarded an i9 Sportsmanship Medal for demonstrating the sportsmanship value for that week. At the end of the season all kids will receive a personalized i9 Sports trophy!
Coaches & Referees
All coaches, usually a volunteer parent of a child playing on the team, will receive mandatory certified background checks. Please consider volunteering! Coaches will find the experience personally rewarding. All referees are trained to ensure the highest level of professionalism during all games.
