Customer Testimonials

First time in the program and loved it

It’s super awesome for the kids that have never had the opportunity to be a part of a team, it is structured in my opinion perfect. The environment is awesome along with the staff. 100% recommended for sure.

We enjoy the availability of so many different sports, convenient locations, friendly on-site gameday staff, and the value we receive for what we pay. We also appreciate that it is geared to kiddos who are new to sports and lessens the pressure on them to compete when they are just learning the sport. Our child is excited to try a different sport even though they enjoyed soccer SO much.

This was a great first season for me! Coaching the little ones was really fun for me and my entire family. It was rewarding to see the growth each team member had from game 1 to now. I'm very proud of my team. Kaseem and his wife have been extremely supportive and have given exceptional guidance to the league of coaches. It would be my pleasure to continue coaching basketball with i9 and it would be even greater if I can continue coaching my PW02 basketball kids next season.

I liked our coaches this year for baseball.

Great Instructors!

It’s a great intro into sports for children.

Everything

Love the facility and I think the organization and attitudes of the coaches are great.

It was indoor and the staff seems to enjoy being there with the kids

Loved the soccer program, but the age difference felt quite large. It would be nice if there was a 2-3 year old group and it was more of a free for all concept. Other than that we loved it!!

The only thing we didn’t enjoy this season was the fact that after someone scored 3 goals for soccer it didn’t count.

Our son is one of the more competent ones on the field and he ended up having to sit back at the goal and not really play. When you have a child that’s passionate about a sport, it’s a bummer to have them on a team that doesn’t have the ability to encourage growth in them.

The ability to learn and perfect skills in sport of choice

Main coach/franchise owner is awesome! Some of the flag football team choaches are great and are positive role models.

We do love the flag football with I9. The only thing is that in our kids age bracket there is only 2 teams so we play the exact same team every week. It does get a little boring. In my older sons bracket there are only 3 teams. It would be more likely we signed up more often if there were more teams to play.

Very informative, friendly, and competitive environment.

Vibrant community. Frequency of communication and updates that make it easier for us to plan.

I love that there's not a lot of pressure on the kids and that there's a focus on positivity and sportsmanship values. Also, the coaches are amazing! I have recommended the program to several friends. Everyone I know who is involved with i9 Sports loves it!

Quality instruction

what i like the most is the jersey . it’s great material and looks very nice when the kids are playing .

We love the focus on teamwork and good sportsmanship. Our daughter has also gained skill and confidence when playing basketball.

It’s a fun and safe learning environment! My son has loved making new friends and learning the game. The program has done an excellent job showing the kids concepts of teamwork, and the coaches are so nice and patient!

I love the that’s my son gets to interact with other kids and learn a sport. I dislike the morning hours . Should start at 9am not 8am it’s too early.

It was great for beginners! Our daughter is 9 and really wanted to get into cheer but has not done anything other than dance when she was younger so we decided to try this out. It was an amazing experience and Coach Ari was wonderful with all the girls.

She had a blast and we will be signing up for the Spring season.

The availability on Sundays was great! My daughters coaches are wonderful and it’s been an excellent intro to basketball for her.

Kids have time outside to learn and advance themselves in teamwork. Both of my boys look forward to each game.

I love the kids! Love basketball! Love learning and playing together! Love the game, and love that this year we are keeping score - helps keep the players engaged.

Love the program! We've played many seasons and continue to recruit my son's friends to i9. We love it!

One bit of feedback about officiating. I know it's tough to find good referees so that's not lost on me. I find the biggest issue is calling games too tightly - these are kids, let them play. Anything related to safety should be called of course but some of the more minor infractions slow things down and make the games less fun. I would say the 'normal' refs are usually great but sometimes refs that sub from other leagues have the biggest issues.

Good example. Game on 2/3/24, Eagles vs Browns. I had never seen these 2 officials before, they might be from another location. During this game, they threw *22 flags* !!!! We started counting because it as so extreme. They were basically calling NFL rules - things like illegal shifts and false starts at even the slightest movement on the line. For lots of these kids on both teams, this is their first time playing football so they are just learning. When 22 flags are thrown, it's discouraging for both teams and you end up just throwing your hands up and hoping for the game to end. This has only happened once and I can't stress that your normal officials for the Chapel Hill location (blond guy and guy with beard) are great. I think it's an issue for substitute refs that you might need to check on.

Long story but I wanted to take the opportunity to give some feedback. That said, we love i9 and can't wait to keep playing this season and next!

Lots of reasons...

1. The core values
2. The overall program structure
3. The fact that my son ENJOYS it!
4. The coaches are personable.

Weekend programs, very easy to communicate with. Coaches have been wonderful. This is the second program we have tried and both have been great.
