Customer Testimonials
EXCELLENT
We have been an I9 sports family for a few years. We really like the options of schedules offered to try new sports, the ability to work with coaches multiple seasons and have great communication with the office when we have had questions.
I love the level of organization and communication
It’s a great program if you want kids to transition to basketball ( in my case) from another sport! It’s fun, manageable schedule and great coach!!
It allows the kids to learn and be themselves.
The diversity!
The program was taught well.
All though I didn’t see medals handed out after each game as the instructions said.
The coaches did a great job interacting with the kids and the facilities were adequate.
Wonderful program, well structured, well trained coaches. Special mentions to Coach Monica, who is my kid's coach at Riley Middle School. Such an amazing coach, she trains each and every kid like her own kid, understanding their weaknesses, strengths, motivating them and showing a sense of winning attitude and the happiness for the kids. I will continue our basketball training only with i9 Sports, well impressed.
Love the program, such a great environment for my daughter she enjoys it so much and the staff is jus amazing . We love it and plan to continue our journey with i9
Coach Jeremy was great!
Coach Jordan is wonderful
You guys are always there willing to help and it’s efficient and easy for the kids to understand as well as the parents.
I9 is great- Parents on the other hand take it too far. This is not the NBA nor is there a scout watching from the benches for parents to behave as if their child is getting drafted. This past weekend, a parent caused commotion yelling all over nothing when in reality their child is showing very poor sportsmanship. I don't bring my child to watch adults not know how to control themselves in a gym. Thankfully my child is older so hes able to ignore and understand that behavior is not okay and in fact embarrassing BUT that kind of behavior scares little children. My suggestion is when signing up a child, adults should have to sign a form agreeing to behave correctly or else their child can be taken off for the rest of the season due to their behavior.
My daughter is a beginner and absolutely loves the volleyball program. All of the children seem to be on the same skill level and the coach is very interactive and patient.
I love how organized it is and how quick the coaches teach sports and how fast the kids catch on ! I love that each week someone gets a metal
Girls Flag football- I like that it is available to girls of all ages. It is becoming popular and not every school offers it. It is nice to have the opportunity to play with other girls who enjoy the sport as well.

I like that there is equal playing time
I love the way subs are handled in basketball and the way the ref teaches during the games.
So happy with flag football program. Love it
The coaches are nice patient with the kids especially mine he’s kind of a wild card and he absolutely loves going to baseball even when he gets tired it might be super simple but it is helping kids learn teamwork and values and I think that’s important
This is my son Leo's first year ever playing, he just turned 5 on August 15th so I was a little worried about him getting moved to coach pitch without ever playing tee-ball. I think it was the right move, especially because of how well coached his team is. Nate Rech is by far the best coach out of all the teams we have faced, as well as Chip Weiss. Nate takes his time with every player, and is the most organized, attentive coach I have witnessed thus far. He knows my son needs a little extra help due to his age and inexperience, and I truly appreciate that.
i9 Sports has been a wonderful experience for our second-grade flag football team this fall season. The league's philosophy and execution are top-notch—the referees deserve special recognition for their teaching approach. Rather than strictly penalizing every mistake, they take time to educate the kids on the rules, which is exactly what young players need at this age. This has created a positive learning environment where the kids are developing both skills and confidence.
My only complaint centers on the flag belts. For several players on our team, the flags don't align properly on the hips and fall off far too easily during gameplay. We had a particularly frustrating moment when one of our players made a great interception and had a clear path to score, but his flags fell off mid-return through no fault of his own. Having coached WAYA flag football as well, I can say their belt system is significantly more secure and functional.
The equipment issue aside, i9 Sports delivers on what matters most: quality coaching moments, fair officiating, and a fun environment for kids to learn the game. I'd recommend the league but suggest they consider upgrading their flag belt system.
It is nice that it's all in one location, and I like the less competitive nature that is a good entry point for my son who had very little basketball experience
I like the focus on sportsmanship and skills. It's organized just enough and relaxed just enough.
I been extremely pleased that we have our son Damien playing Saturday and Sunday now. I coach Saturdays and watch Sundays. Holly and staff have been amazing. Saturdays I wish I knew their names but the refs have been awesome joking through out the game nothing but laughs. This season has definitely been fun and field conditions have improved a lot as well.
*****
I enjoy the family friendly environment and team spirit skills, that are taught to our children that can be used onand off the court/field.
I9 coaches and game/practice format are both great
Sami the coach for Aliso Viejo is amazing. He cares so much about the kids and brings his experience to share. Jey is also top-notch.
