Every Kid Deserves a Chance to Play

Everyone Can Play

At I9 Sports, we believe cost should never keep a child off the field. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we cover youth sports registration fees for qualified families so your child can experience the confidence, friendship, and joy of the game.

If registration fees are standing between your child and the season they've been dreaming of, you're in the right place. Let's get them on the field.

Getting Your Child Registered — In 3 Simple Steps

No confusing paperwork, no long wait

We've made the path from 'I'm not sure we can afford this' to 'game day' as clear and encouraging as possible. Here's exactly how we help families paying for youth sports fees get their kids in the game.

1. Reach Out or Take the Quiz

Share a few details through our quick form or the self-qualifying quiz to see if your family qualifies for assistance. It takes just a couple of minutes.

2. We Confirm Eligibility Together

A caring team member reviews your info and walks you through qualification — no jargon, no judgment, just support every step of the way.

3. Your Child Gets on the Field

Once approved, we cover the registration fees and help you sign up for a nearby program. All that's left is the fun.
