M & N Sports Inc. DBA i9 Sports is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit amateur sports organization which services the entire Bronx Community in a variety of professional sports programs for people of all ages.
“i9 Sports is redefining youth sports across the nation. We believe that participation in an organized youth sport activity is about more than just the sport… it’s about the entire experience for the parent and the child. It’s what we call the i9 Sports Experience - made up of the following core principles”:

Description:
Everyone is a Winner:
Competition is a natural instinct. However, the “win-at-all-costs” mentality so prevalent in youth sports today is not only destructive to team morale, it severely undermines individual self-esteem. We believe everyone is a winner and should be both encouraged and given the opportunity to make the most of their abilities.

Fun:
We believe that the primary reason children play sports is to have fun. They love mastering new skills, developing friendships, and healthy competition. We avoid spoiling the fun by focusing more on skills development and enjoyment of the game than on the score or outcome.

Inclusively:
That’s our word for everyone’s right to play and have fun. Our program is for everyone, regardless of race, gender, religion, or ability level. No child will ever be excluded by a try-out, be made to feel like they aren’t good enough because of a league draft, or be cut from a team. We endeavor to play every child at least half of every game.

Safety:
We believe your child’s safety is paramount. As such, we background check each of the adults supervising your children and hire trained officials for each game to ensure that “safe play” is enforced.

Good Sportsmanship:
We believe that learning to play the game is only half the equation. Helping children develop character is the other half. The value of teaching children teamwork, fair play and good sportsmanship goes far beyond the game.

History:
i9 Sports has been running in the Bronx for the past 3 years, which includes Basketball & Flag Football Leagues, clinics, tournaments and camps. Our sports program is one of the fastest growing sports organizations in the Bronx. This year, we have over 1,500 children participating in our programs, and we are growing each and every season.
