We love the less competitive, learning atmosphere of i9. Ref JoJo is AMAZING!

Small time commitment = easier to participate. Love that it is recreational and not super competitive. Lot of location and sports options.

I like that you have some rules and structure. We tried a program through the city and felt like there was no rule regulations for younger kids which made it really hard for them to learn the fundamentals. It doesn’t mean they have to be perfect but the fact you stop to call them out and don’t punish them but enable them is great. We’ve also had some great referees such as Ian for soccer. He’s always so encouraging with the kids and does a great job.

My son has enjoyed I-9 Sports. It’s a great introduction to sports for kids and creates a positive, encouraging environment. It’s also a fun way to keep them active, moving, and engaged while building confidence and learning teamwork.

For areas to improve. we had some confusion on locations of the gyms the first couple days, so just little details like that. Also just reviewing communications before they are sent out to ensure accuracy.

Lots of positives. Had some great referees, Lilly and Ian. Also enjoy the sportsmanship focus, overall detail in the communication, and positive attitude of the staff. I also appreciate the coaching resources as I don’t have much time to plan. Overall, great job i9!

The coaches have shown ability to teach and help kids who are growing to the game of basketball.

Convenient

Great coaches!

I love that it's once a week rather than having various practices throughout the school week. It's fun focused and builds sportsmanship in kiddos.

Ideas for improvement:
-provide a discount for kids whose parents volunteer to coach
-provide a discount for kids who can bring back a jersey from last year (seems so wasteful and unnecessarily expensive to buy brand new jersey after 7 uses)
-provide better training for referees on assertiveness and communication
-provide a better balance for teams (we are either creaming the other team or getting creamed)

Excellent curriculum to teach young players the game. Staff is fantastic!

It’s well ran and great communication, which is important.

It’s a great way to learn the sport and still compete a little.

It's a well organized program. The app is great as a parent as well as a coach. Encouraging all the kids to play and work on their own skills is very important to me and I appreciate it is for i9 too.

Every kid is given a chance to play each position, coaches are fair and kids are having fun.

This is great for newbies and pros alike. Awesome schedule for busy families or kids who dont want to commit to hours of practice. One hour practice before the game and then an hour game every Saturday for 8 weeks. The teams have been great and we just signed up for season 5!

Our tennis coach, Karen @ Swigert Elementary, is incredible. My kiddo is so excited to see her each week. She is patient and kind and is helping to develop everyone's tennis skills.

Very organized. Proximity to fields is great in the morning.

I’m very happy with our experience with i9. I really appreciate the wide range of sports i9 offers and the way they focus on building skills, confidence, and good sportsmanship in the kids. My son has enjoyed playing flag football, and it’s clear that the staff and volunteer coaches care about creating a positive and supportive environment. Overall, it’s been a great experience for our family.

First off want to thank Anthony for a well organized i9 soccer program and for all the help! If your are thinking about registering your son/daughter look no further, i9 is perfect for beginners or intermediate players. This program helps players develop skills and knowledge of the sport, 100% recommend.

Great community! Volunteers were awesome and patient. Our kids had a blast:-)

I love the focus on learning the skills of the game and the encouragement and positive attitudes that are promoted in the process.

We absolutely love i9 Sports because of how genuinely family-centered and convenient the program is. As a full-time working parent, the structure makes such a difference, games and practices falling on Sundays means I can truly be present, and I never have to choose between work and watching my boys play. That alone is priceless to our family.
What truly sets i9 Sports apart, though, is the staff. They are incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, especially when it comes to supporting children with sensory needs. As a parent of an autistic daughter, I can’t express enough how meaningful it is to feel seen, supported, and never judged during moments of tantrums or overstimulation. That level of compassion is rare and deeply appreciated.
I also love how i9 Sports emphasizes values over scores. Every child is recognized, encouraged, and celebrated regardless of whether the team wins, loses, or draws. Each player matters, and that message is consistently reinforced, which builds confidence, sportsmanship, and self-worth in the kids.
Another huge plus is how involved parents are encouraged to be, whether it’s helping with snacks, keeping score, or even coaching. It truly feels like a community rather than just a sports league. Everyone is included, everyone contributes, and everyone feels valued.
Overall, i9 Sports has created an environment that is supportive, inclusive, well-organized, and genuinely enjoyable for both kids and parents. Our family couldn’t be happier, and we are so grateful to be part of such an amazing program.
