Transforming Lives Through Sports

Active kids do better in life. They are more likely to excel in school, succeed in work and have less health issues. Sports are a powerful way to keep kids active and teach valuable life lessons, yet fewer kids are playing and staying in the game.

Our mission is to increase quality youth sports participation by providing financial assistance to families and communities that lack sufficient resources and provide education on safe and healthy sports-related play.

Sports Change Lives

We believe that sports change lives. In addition to physical and mental health benefits, sports have the power to change our perspectives, our character, and our communities for the better. This belief has guided DICK’S Sporting Goods and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation since the beginning – but not everyone has the same access to play. Through grants and other support, The DICK’S Foundation helps under-resourced 501c3 organizations, schools, and community teams across all 50 states provide opportunities for youth to play sports.

All Kids Deserve An Opportunity to Play.

The i9 Sports Association was established in 2006 as a non-profit organization and reorganized in 2011 to expand its reach nationally. With several local chapters nationally the i9 Sports Association is making a difference in communities nationwide.

Our mission is to promote youth athletic participation, provide financial assistance to boys and girls who cannot otherwise afford to participate in athletic activities and educate the public on the health and wellness benefits of athletic participation.

We pay. Kids play.

Cost is the #1 barrier keeping kids out of youth sports. We find and facilitate the funding that helps kids from income-restricted families participate in youth sports so they, too, can experience the positive benefits of playing.
