Coach Cooper has been an invaluable influence on my son’s experience playing his first sport ever! Coach Cooper brings organization and motivation to every practice and game such that all players are actively engaged and equally encouraged to learn and excel in soccer. His inclusive approach ensures that even the least interested kids end up performing at their best. I'm incredibly thankful for my son's experience on Coach Cooper's team; he now understands the essence and values of sportsmanship and team victories! Because of him my son and at least 4 other friends have joined the team! I9 makes this kind of organized sport exceptional for kids even as young as 4&5 years old and we parents Love it !
We enjoy our coach this season! He has been teaching the players skills, starting with the basics and progressing on. Each game we have seen improvements! He is also supportive of the players and gives pointers, but realizes this is not the NBA draft, it is 8 year olds playing basketball and meeting friends.
Our daughter has been playing for i9 for 10 seasons! Needless to say we enjoy watching her. The kids all seem to have so much fun. The coach is great! He's been teaching the kids all new drills. The ref lady is kind and keeps the game on time. I don't know her name.
Great coach and community. Convenient location. However, we missed many practices and games this season due to Monte Vista school field not being available. There should be makeup days.
It's a great platform for kids to be active in low-pressure environment. Also, the program coordinator for the Ahwatukee site is very helpful and responsive when I needed to make a change to my son's program.
Our team struggled to find a coach so we typically don't have an authoritative figure on our team. Sometimes the referee would come do drills with our kids and that was great
I appreciate the consolidation of practices and games to a single day, making it easier on the parents. The pee wee league has been great and inclusive for all of the players to participate or take a break as needed.
