i9 Sports
You want your own sports league, but you don't care if your best players still watch Saturday morning cartoons. i9 Sports franchisees operate amateur youth sports leagues, tournaments, camps, clinics, and after-school programs. The activities are available to boys and girls of all ages (typically 4 to 14) and skill levels for flag football, basketball, soccer, cheerleading, lacrosse, baseball/softball, golf, volleyball, and hockey. Since 2004, more than 100,000 kids have participated. To qualify for ownership, potential franchisees must meet criteria including sales/marketing and management experience. In return, they receive training and support, including management software and a customized 12-month strategic game plan for sports selection and pricing.
