About The Position

At i9 Sports, we’re more than youth sports — we’re building confidence, teamwork, and character in kids across the Nashville area. Our game days are where the magic happens, and we’re looking for a Game Day Director who can lead from the front, solve problems on the fly, and set the tone for an incredible experience for families, players, coaches, and staff. This role starts part-time but has real opportunity to grow into a full-time leadership position as our Nashville market continues to expand. If you’re organized, dependable, confident leading a team, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this might be your team. As a Game Day Director, you will be responsible for leading the on-site operations at several of our weekend sports programs in the area. You’ll oversee staff, manage field and equipment setup and teardown, support coaches and families, troubleshoot issues, and ensure each location is running safely, efficiently, and professionally across Soccer, Flag Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Volleyball. Think of yourself as the traveling on-site leader — part operations manager, part team leader, part customer service representative, and part problem solver. You are the person responsible for making sure the day runs smoothly and stepping in when something doesn’t go according to plan at the assigned locations.
