Customer Testimonials
Same day practices and makes it fun for the little ones. They are there to have fun and learn about sports conducts in sports and how to be a better overall person.
We love the coach, his energy is great!!
Good natured, supportive staff. Kids really have fun.
For a kid’s first experience in sports, the program is great. The practice then game format is very convenient for parents and developmentally appropriate for my 3 year old. The staff are very nice and patient.
Organized and local
The schedule is perfect! It's great to only commit to one day/week for a sport or activity, and the back-to-back practice and game is a great setup! I also love that everyone plays in every game--it's so important for all kids to get a chance to learn the basics of a sport and whether or not they enjoy it or seem to have an aptitude, without the worry about whether or not they are good enough to play.
I like that it allows early participation through the 3-5 year old programs
I love the convenience, communication, sportsmanship, and FUN i9 Sports offers to all kids! It's our favorite day of the week!
We have a great volunteer coach this year. He isn't a parent and is truly invested in the kids. He holds practices during the week and treats this like a real program where kids can learn and grow. We've played before where parents took turns coaching. By having an outside coach who is still invested - it's made all the difference. This should be the standard moving forward.
Once a week, everyone gets good playing time. Only 6 weeks at a time.
Coach Sami is amazing. Cannot say enough about him. He’s a skilled soccer player with amazing Olympic and European club credentials, yet he’s personal and caring and amazing with the kids. He is the #1 reason why we love i9!
I like that it works with our busy schedule.
Great environment for young children to learn basics of sports without judgements and pressure. I have enjoyed every season we have been apart of.
how effective are the instructors. They were able to make 14 3rd grade children throw back and forth a volleyball over the net in only two hours.
Volleyball was a great introductory experience for my 2nd grader who hasn't played before. The only thing that was confusing is that as a coach, the rules changed mid-season and I wasn't notified. Specifically, the rule about coach tossing to their own team, and earning points on a coach toss. I'm fine with the rule, but didn't find out about it until the middle of the game. It would be helpful to learn those ahead of game time.
They are good for younger kids or even kids that may be intimidated by some of the other programs out there.
It’s super organized! The coaches are enthusiastic with the kiddos.
The coaches were knowledgeable and supportive of the children.
Our little has enjoyed her introduction to basketball. Every season she improves.
Coaches are great. Everyone is friendly. We’ve done the soccer program and it was ok. We see doing flag football now and my son is thriving. He is loving it and the enthusiasm of the coaches is amazing.
I like that the kids can try a new sport without the pressure of it being competitive.
We have gotten lucky with our volunteer coaches so we have been happy with all he teamwork going on and communication.
We have been playing i9 Rancho for years now. It has been a great experience for our kids, and the whole family. It's the perfect way to get an introduction to sports without a heavy multi-day commitment. i9 Rancho has always seemed well organized, fields prepped, and good refs. I have, and will continue to, recommend i9 to everyone I talk to about youth sports.
Very well run and challenges the kids. You see improvement right away
