We are proud to announce that i9 Sports has been recognized for our contribution to sport by being designated a Project Play Champion by The Aspen Institute, a nonpartisan think tank dedicated to addressing some of the world’s most complex problems. The Institute devotes some of its resources to studying the impact of sports. Organized activities like those offered by our youth sports franchise are widely recognized for their positive benefits on health, families, communities and the world at large.
The award as well as the mission of the Project Play initiative dovetails perfectly with our own mission of helping children succeed in life through sports.
According to its own website, the Project Play initiative “develops, applies and shares knowledge that helps build healthy communities through sports. We produce reports that take measure of the state of play at the national, regional and city levels, with exclusive data and insights. We create frameworks and tools that stakeholders can use to grow access to quality sport. Then each fall, we pump new ideas into the bloodstream and push the movement forward at the Project Play Summit, the nation’s premier annual gathering of leaders at the intersection of youth, sport and health.”
