Childhood Obesity and School Cutbacks
Fuel the Demand
The growing prevalence of childhood obesity has led many Americans to seek fun, engaging programs that increase their children’s activity levels. Increased awareness of the dangers of childhood obesity, combined with budget cutbacks at schools and recreation departments nationwide is driving the demand for our programs. Over 42 million children participate in youth sports each year according to Sports Illustrated: Youth Sports Backgrounder. And participation in sports has many benefits beyond exercise. Children who participate in organized sports perform better academically, have better interpersonal skills, are more team-oriented, and are generally healthier overall. Regardless of economic fluctuations, parents typically find a way to keep their children enrolled in sports programs. As an i9 Sports franchisee you’ll be well-positioned in the recession-resistant youth sports industry.
The "i9 Experience" is redefining youth sports across the nation with a focus on fun and good sportsmanship versus the win-at-all-cost, hyper-competitive approach taken by many youth leagues today. We believe that sports should be a fun, safe experience, where kids can learn basic athletic skills, good sportsmanship, and increase their self-esteem. Unlike some sports leagues, children who participate in our programs don’t sit on the sidelines. Parents value our approach, and as an i9 Sports franchise owner you’ll benefit from our trusted reputation.
