Location, cost, and values

It’s very fun and very laidback.

Love the coaches… coach Brittany and Coach Steven Owens were the absolute best. Excellent communication between the team and the parents. They were super encouraging and motivated the kids to always do their best. I really enjoyed watching my son learn and play baseball this season.
I also really loved where I9 was hosted this season.
Great facility chose!!

But I disliked how my other son did not have an assigned coach but so appreciate the one dad, who decided to step up and volunteer. Thank you!!

Minimal practices and games to allow for a balance in family life

I enjoyed the comrade that the girls were able to connect with.

Organization and communication

It seems very well organized and informative. I know exactly what needs to happen and when. The guys in the field are fantastic.

I like that the team/coordinators make it more about learning the fundamentals of the game. It’s not so focused on winning the game.

Coaches are amazing!

The soccer program is great for my son. He enjoys playing, making friends, and improving his soccer skills. And they respectfully

Practice and game same day.

This is my son’s second season with this program. He hadn’t played with another program in the past. i9 Sports is great. The first season felt welcoming and friendly especially for the smaller kids. This season has also been fun except for one thing. Unfortunately our coach has been out for two practices/games and there’s been what I believe is a program coordinator whose filled in for those two times and this coordinator is not good with kids. She treats them as if they’re grown kids (my son’s team starts at age 3+) and she’s very harsh with her coaching. Given our children are preschoolers, I expect more empathy and to make the environment simply FUN but she almost is shaming the kids as she’s teaching. Myself and some parents after noticing have stepped up to coach the kids to avoid her input as much as we can. My son missed game 3 and I hear word that there was an incident that involved this coordinator. Outside of this, I enjoy i9 and my son does too.

My son trying out sports keeping active in a positive environment, building his strength and confidence. Making friends, and showing teamwork. The only thing is maybe to have more practice on different days of the week.

I liked the build your own team option

The teaching, patience, excitement that the staff and coaches have that they pass along to the kids.

Love that it gives kids an outlet.
Love the small community feel even for only an hour a week.
Love that it teaches my my kid friendship, sportsmanship, competitiveness. They learned about inclusivity last week. Been great!!

I like the fact that practice and the games are on the same day. I also like that the coaches are supportive and encouraging. They let everyone play and try all positions. Also I like that mistakes are supported and used as teaching opportunities.

Coaches are patient. I love the similar age groups. My child feels comfortable with no pressure to excel but rather to enjoy the game at a reasonable pace.

That it is once a week

The way it is structured

Flexible schedules. Practice and game on same day. And only 6ish weeks.

Also, I would like to give a big shout out to staff Noah. He is an incredible young man that absolutely adores the children. You find him playing with them and gaining their trust. And then he will actually coach them on the field. That is what this league is all about and as a parent i couldnt ask for more. We have seen him the last three seasons and I just truly have enjoyed seeing his growth and how much heart he gives to the kids. Thank you Noah. And I wish you a great summer and first season at college!

The structure of having a practice and then a mini game works with young kids.

Well organized, website and communication via text and emails. Thanks I9
