The program is emotionally and mental supportive of kids being kids. It's also great for us parents to not have practices during the week and in different locations.
TY i9!
Your organization and notification systems are great. We love the laid back feel, and have great coaches! My son is learning, but doesn’t feel pressure.
Everything. Coach Matt went out of his way to give every player play time. He used practice to drill skills. He was hands on and really dedicated to sjill development. The refs were great and enthusiastic. The staff were helpful.
By contrast, the current coach favors some players over others too much. Wanting to win is great. Teaching the kids how to develop their skills and build resiliency is so much better. He doesn’t drill the kids during practice. Its free for all. I like that for half the time. Kids are great at figuring out ways they can develop. That's what play is. But sometimes they need to be shown what their weaknesses are.
What do I like about i9 soccer programs? EVERYTHING. They’re well run and well organized. The onsite team at Mueller, shout out to Perla and Anthony (!), remains efficient, personable, and in control. Online, the org is SO communicable. Anything I need or am wondering, they reply right away. This has NOT been our experience with other local youth leagues. i9 rocks.
I appreciate that all of the kids play for the same amount of time each game, regardless of ability. It makes all of the kids feel supported and have the opportunity to have fun and improve. I love that there are no “ bench warmers”!
This is our first season with I9 and we love it! The time commitment is totally doable and our coach is AWESOME!!! He is very positive and knowledgeable. He’s doing terrific job developing their skills. My son is having a blast!
Overall ease and reliability of information and resource access, especially as a volunteer coach. The staff is professional and helpful, especially Anthony on game day.
This is our first year with i9 with flag football and we will be coming back for other sports! My son use to play tackle and we love that i9 is close to our home, not a lot of traveling and get sportsmanship!
