Customer Testimonials
Great email communication with parents. Really like the consistency across ages/sports/cities. The lesson of the week is invaluable, and the fact that coaches not only have a script to reference for the lessons, but this lesson is also shared with parents is just phenomenal. Totally impressed with i9 this far in our first season and 100% plan to be back in the spring!
Coach is super friendly and my daughter has so much fun while building her confidence.
We have a great coach who is awesome at balancing play for all the kids and providing direction and instruction. I also think communication from I9 is really helpful. I appreciate the text reminders.
I like that the games and practices are at the same time, it's low stress, and there's not a ton of effort required by the parents.
The organization
The educational component
The focus on development rather than winning
No pressure. Play for fun. Great atmosphere and parents.
It’s fun for the kids and easy for the parents!
The flag football clinic program is great to learn the basics of the game. The coaches are encouraging and positive. My son is enjoying the program very much.
When I was interested in signing up I had a few questions. I called and was told everything I needed to know plus follow up emails to answer my unanswered questions.
This day in age it is so refreshing to receive fantastic customer service.
Thank you i9 for being amazing in all aspects!

The friendly coaches and having everything all on one day.
Every i9 program we’ve done has been very well-organized, with good communication. I love the sportsmanship values that the coaches emphasize. Having practices and games on the same day makes it much easier for our family to participate.
Love the relaxed atmosphere. Not all, and in fact, not many children are suited for professional sports. This program lets kids be kids and enjoy the recreational part of playing sports.
Same day practice and games
The coaches and the one day a week commitment
I like how it teaches the kids the fundamentals of the sport. I like how inclusive the program is. I like the fact the every child gets to play. I like the team oriented environment. I like that my son enjoys playing with I9
I love that a new characteristic is emphasized each week and that every kid will get a medal by the end of the season. I also find it very convenient that practice is right before each game.
Very well organized!
Organized
I love the convenience of having practice and games back to back on a Saturday rather than rushing around to make practices on a night during the school week. I also appreciate the weekly sportsmanship value and how the focus of play is fun and not the score.
Easy, one day, we’ll organized
We like the convenience of a practice and game all on one day, especially for our younger kid who is not ready for a bigger commitment.
We like that there are professional coaches working alongside the volunteer coaches, as all the kids end up with a consistently good experience developing skills (unlike the Rec league where you either get lucky or not with your volunteer coach).
We like that the emphasis is on teamwork and skill development, getting the kids to have fun and build the foundation for a lifetime love of sports. Overemphasis on winning at this age is detrimental!
Weekend hours, combined practice and game, not focusing primarily on winning
The coaches are great
Staff are fun and good with the kids, great to have a consistent day of the week for soccer!
I love that there is a clear plan of instruction each week and all the staff and coaches are on the same page. I also love that you focus on important athletic (and life) values each week.
Instructional, progression week after week and structured
Same day practice and games, reliable coaches, open communication and an overall great environment for kids to have fun and learn to play, win and lose!
A wonderful league that focuses on making sure it is a fun, and positive experience for each child. We have been with i9 sports for 3 years now and we couldn’t be happier with this league.
Low stress atmosphere for young children to learn a sport. Friendly coaches. Supportive parents.
The coaches are motivating and engaging. They work well with the kids to keep the program fun but also keep on them if they are slacking off. It's our first class but so far so good!!
First time with i9 - love it as a parent and coach.
