VERO BEACH — i9 Sports has been successfully providing youth sports leagues for children ages 3 through 14 in St. Lucie and Martin Counties for many years. We are excited to announce that we will be expanding our programs to Indian River County this October.
Our leagues will begin on Oct. 12 and be played Saturday mornings at Hidden Palms Tennis and Swim Club. The league will consist of soccer for kids ages 3-10, t-ball for kids ages 3-6, and flag football will be available for children ages 4-14.
Parents enjoy complete convenience. Games will be played Saturday mornings, and practices are right before the game. There are no other practices or games during the week.
Hidden Palms Tennis and Swim Club is located at 4291 5th St. SW.
Every effort is made to accommodate special requests to play with siblings, friends, or coaches.
i9 Sports is focused on fun and fundamentals. Emphasizing good sportsmanship instead of the score, every week the focus is on a new skill that will help players become successful both on and off the field. A weekly sportsmanship award is given to a deserving player on each team for skills such as listening, fair play, and best effort.
Coaches ensure the focus is on the i9 Sports Core Principles; fun, safety, good sportsmanship, everybody plays, and everybody wins. There are absolutely no tryouts or drafts.
Each child receives equal playing time and has the opportunity to play every position. A child who has never had a chance to play key positions in other leagues will get that chance in an i9 Sports league.
“You should see the look on a kid’s face when you tell them they get to play quarterback. It’s amazing what it does for their self-esteem,” said Steve Goldstein, Program Director of i9 Sports in Indian River County.
Goldstein says parents are usually very appreciative of the convenience of his i9 Sports leagues.
“I had a busy mother of three tell me that only going to the field once a week has given her more family time. It can be hard to get multiple kids to multiple practices and games throughout the week. Parents don’t have to volunteer at the concession stand, so they get to watch their kids play,” Goldstein added.
“Participation in team sports builds character, increases self-esteem, and provides development of skills that will help them throughout their whole life. We want to make the i9 Sports experience enjoyable for the whole family, so that child will continue to be involved in sports,” explained Frank V. Fiume, Founder and CEO of i9 Sports.
