Inspire Excellence.
IX trains athletes and creates apparel that connects players, families, and fans through the game. Our mission is to grow the sport of volleyball while building a culture that lasts beyond the court.
More than volleyball.
IX began in Arizona as a group of athletes chasing competition and found a bigger purpose along the way. What started as a single team grew into a brand that trains our youth, builds professional programs, and creates apparel that carries the game into everyday life. Our story is rooted in passion for volleyball, but our vision is to connect people through culture.
