Safety is another important aspects of any youth sports program. At i9 Sports, we encourage taking measures to prevent injuries including concussions. No head-balls are allowed in soccer. Helmets are required for batters in t-ball. Protective equipment is required for lacrosse. A “when in doubt, sit them out” philosophy is used in all sports including flag football.

What sets i9 Sports apart from other leagues, is the focus on sportsmanship. There is a word of the day each week that coaches discuss with their teams. These sportsmanship traits include things like Best Effort, Communication, Being a Team Player, Listening, and Enthusiasm. Each week, a few players will be rewarded for demonstrating the word of the day. i9 Sports teaches how to play the game the right way!
