i9 Sports youth basketball leagues, young players are introduced to the sport of basketball while more experienced players learn to improve their skills. Through age-appropriate, fun practice plans, kids learn the fundamentals of basketball including shooting, dribbling and passing. As a player progresses through our youth basketball program, they learn progressively more complex defensive and offensive plays. One aspect of our kids basketball programs that sets us apart is that we like to go beyond the sport by teaching sportsmanship values each week.
