I love that the practice and game are held at the same time, and only once a week. I think the length of the season is perfect. It’s all very well run!
The convience of practice before the games. The organization of each game, regardless of sport but especially with basketball. Pat does an amazing job of time management at mountain park on Saturday’s. The parents and girls are always so fun to coach. i9 is a perfect introductory level for all sports. The inclusiveness, fairness and fun that i9 brings to young kids makes it all worth while.
Everyone on the leadership whom I've met, Steve, Patrick, et. al., are the picture of integrity and understand the root reason why we're all here. My daughter has developed the love of basketball through i9's programming. Thank you so much.
Pat has been fantastic in regard to being kind to my kids, as well as, teaching him the rules of basketball throughout the game as he refs. We love i9 basketball at Mountain Park.
It is a very good entry-level, first experience for young and new athletes and for those who want to have fun with minimal or no interest in increasing the level of competetiveness. The design graciously helps young athletes learn the basics of the game without demanding perfection, or punishing them for their growth process in games- there is room for kids to learn and strengthen their skills at their pace! The schedule structured to have practice and games back-to-back makes it easy for busy families to integrate recreational sports into their schedules, especially families with 2 working parents and/or multiple children.
I loved how welcoming and supportive the coaching staff was to all players, particularly considering that my own child had never participated in volleyball before. He never felt nervous or that his experience was an adequate at any point during the season.
We’ve loved this first basketball experience for our son. I like that teams are co-ed. Wish he could have been with the friends and coach from his school but otherwise it’s been great.
We currently play basketball @ Fowler middle school on Sundays. Just wanted to throw a shout out to the ref who runs the games at this location! (I’m sorry, I never caught his name.) He’s so patient, kind, and friendly. He has made the games fun and fair for our kiddo!
The organization from top to bottom. The communication from the app including sportsmanship, practice plans etc. Patrick our league coordinator and his team of referees are amazing!
Practice time and games are combined. This is convenient for families and an appropriate amount of time for kids to stay engaged in both practice and games. Great staff, good communication and consistent scheduling. A win all the way around.
I like that it takes place once a week with a practice and a game—that makes it feel do-able with busy lives and we can try more than one thing at a time.
