Customer Testimonials
Great program! The director is on it about letting us know about schedules and changes. My son thoroughly enjoys playing flag football with this organization. Thank you for all you do for kids!
I have become a huge fan of I-9 sports. I love how it is teaching my daughter great sportsmanship giving her the opportunities make new friends and at the same time teaching her about competition and respect for other people.
We have been with i9 sports for over 3 years now (since our son turned 3). The environment is positive and a perfect pace for kids getting into sports. The variety of programs is wonderful. It's also great to see energetic and supportive staff at the fields. We look forward to our current and future seasons!
I really liked the coach. My kids had a lot of fun.
Fun for my child
The values that are taught
And the 1 stop shop of practice then game
Love how the schedule isn’t over barring. I also how for each sport the rules are discussed before the game and then refs are actively helping kids.
Everything is organized and really fun for the kids!
I love the organization and how information is available through the online portal. I also enjoy that it is only on Saturday’s.
It’s so fun and quick! Perfect for my 4 year old
I really love that it's open to anyone and that it's available year round for kids. I think one area that can be improved. The refs and staff this season are really great and really try to keep it a great environment. One thing that is tough is when teams are really slim as was the case this season for our team because it's very hard to have young players play for pretty much 38 minutes straight. Seems like team should be be at a minimum 8, even at the expense of a team who has requested a coach preference--first come first served kind of thing. Realize things like that are hard to operationalize but I think it's the most fair way to ensure that younger players can take breaks.
We really love our flag football coach Mike Schiavone. He's been great and is very engaging with the kids. Our son has so much fun every Saturday and if we choose to do it again we'd definitely like Coach Mike again.
The coach on the opposite team actually hasn't been making us feel good about the experience for the other kids. He was very late 2 weeks in a row and seems to favor his son over the other children on his team.
If we can have Coach Mike again for flag football we certainly will sign up again!
Thank you!
Awesome program! Great for kids to be exposed to learn the fundamentals playing sports.
Positive energy from Coaches and practice/game times are convenient
The coaches, the locations, the times
We have enjoyed our first season with the i9 soccer program. We value the convenience of having practices and games on the same day, which aligns with our busy schedule. The program has been well organized and changes in the schedule have been effectively communicated. My husband has enjoyed his first season coaching my daughter’s soccer team and they look forward to participating in future seasons as well!
The only feedback I have is that players who have been participating for the past few seasons should ideally be grouped together. It becomes quite challenging for them to practice with beginners, which often leads to boredom and a loss of interest. Separating them based on experience level could help maintain their enthusiasm and ensure everyone is getting the most out of their practice sessions and games.
We love practices and games on the same day and the positive energy from the parents, coaches and players at every game.
Well organized
Programs are well-organized, and coaches have been very patient as well as instructive. The facilities are also very nice and all the sports my kids are interested in can be played at the same location.
The friendly and supportive environment focused on fun and learning.
I really enjoy the convenience of the practice than the games. The locations are great. The referees are great.
We are highly impressed with i9sports due to its consistently convenient schedules and the exceptional benefits it provides for our children.
A team of friendly and supportive staff who assists us in developing essential relationship-building skills that will foster our children’s confidence and trust in their own abilities.
The encouragement from staff and coaches is great. I like that the games are fun with little pressure.
It's a positive place for children to learn.
Everything so far! Our Coach is amazing!! We love the refs, and how they are helping our younger crew learn alongside the coaches during the game! The convenience of practice before games is so incredible as well. Especially for multi sport multi kid families! Thank y’all and God Bless!!
I've coached soccer for a few years in Citrus County. This year I'm assisting in Sumpter County.
Overall, i9 soccer is a great way to get kids interested in team sports.
On the negative side, in Sumpter County, the games start much too late in the day, causing kids to play during the hottest part of the day.
Also, the non-woven field marking line tapes are a hazard.
My last game, I tripped and fell backwards because of the tape.
It's only a matter of time before a child gets hurt.
Friendly volunteers
The many options of sports and age groups.
The focus on fun, learning and sportsmanship.
The relaxed, friendly, helpful staff.
It’s pretty easy going and loose. Perfect for my kids skill level.
Coaches are great and attentive to each student
