A great way to help kids actually enjoy the sports and not get bogged down in competition. There is competitiveness, but it is friendly and age appropriate.
My kids and I absolutely love being apart of i9 sports! As a parent and coach, I can’t say enough great things about this league! I9 provides a very structured, safe, healthy, happy environment for families and their youth to participate in the sports they enjoy! My kids always look forward to meeting new friends, learning the game and building confidence in the sports they love to play each season! As a coach I take pride in watching the kids thrive and grow each week! I truly appreciate the organization of this league and the excellent communication. I’ve coached for other leagues in the area and was disappointed in how unprofessional and unorganized they were, which thankfully lead us to i9sports! Each week emails and text messages are sent out for the time, location, goals and practice plans. I9 is very persistent at making sure everything is about our kids-providing them with a great environment and fun experiences, which they deliver! They make it incredibly easy to coach, they provide all information for families and coaches to be connected so all we have to do is just show up and have fun!
Derek McQuinn the i9 League Director, his officials and game coordinators are fantastic! Each game day is perfectly coordinated , Derek and his crew are always personable, lively and welcoming!
I highly recommend i9 sports to everyone!
We have absolutely loved our experience with i9. You can rarely find entry-level teams for kids that are age 9 and up, but i9 has a level for everyone. It's piqued both of my kids interest in playing more and trying different things. Their coaches and staff are incredibly encouraging and we have never experienced any negative talk at any of our kids events. It's all about being positive and creating confidence and having team spirit. We've been so happy with the entire organization! I feel much more relaxed as a parent playing here where I know my children will be supported and encouraged. We also play club sports and I think the pressure playing at i9 is lifted and the kids can truly just have FUN!!
This is our fifth season with i-9 Sports 🏀 and the relationships built are invaluable. Our son is performing better and the “unpressured” atmosphere that the team here preaches makes competing on a weekly basis more fun and enjoyable. And the coaches and volunteers referees are a breath of fresh air! They take the time to speak with each kid and are always smiling and encouraging.
Affordable, low key but fun and educational for the youngest athletes just learning the game. Friendly environment, I appreciate the consistent schedule/location, and the short length of season makes it feel like a manageable commitment for a family with younger kids.
