Youth sports have always been a cornerstone of communities across our nation -- families, friends, and neighbors united in cheering on the young talent.  That is why Connected Nation is proud to announce our new partnership with iHigh.com -- a company that helps promote and strengthen the passion for youth supports through the innovative use of broadband.
