i9 Sports - Marin/SW Sonoma County
Petaluma

(Not all sports available every season - check their website)
The i9 Approach
- Same-day format: Practice and game on the same day (less driving)
- Fun-focused: Not hyper-competitive
- Age-appropriate: Scaled rules and equipment for different ages
- Convenient: One organization for multiple sports
Who It’s For
- Families new to youth sports who want to try things
- Kids who want variety instead of specializing
- Parents who value convenience over elite competition

Compared to Local Leagues
i9 is a franchise model - consistent experience but less community-rooted than local volunteer leagues like WESCO or PYSL. Trade-offs both ways.
