This week I present an encore performance with my friend Brian Sanders, Chairman and CEO of i9 Sports, the nation’s largest multi-sport provider focused solely on high-quality, community-based youth sports programs. I9 Sports offers youth sports leagues, camps and clinics for boys and girls ages 3 and up in, featuring programs in some of today’s most popular sports.  These include flag football, soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball and ZIP Lacrosse™. Their mission is to help kids succeed in life, through sports. I9 Sports provides a youth sports experience unlike any other.  They teach the importance of good sportsmanship on the court, in the field and in life. Their commitment is to provide age-appropriate instruction, making sports fun for kids and convenient for today’s busy families. And in case you’re wondering about the origin of the brand’s name.  Founder Frank Fiume created the brand’s name to represent 9 words beginning with the letter I, that define the very essence of what the brand stands for, in terms of the lessons it instills.  These are for their kids to be: Imaginative, Innovative, Interactive, Integrity-driven, Impassionate, Inspirational, Instructional, Insightful and lastly, Inclusive.
