That my child gets to play no matter how good he is. I truly believe that a child learns better by playing. I also like that good sportsmanship is rewarded.
The coaches and staff were all very friendly and attentive to all the kids. They made the experience a lot of fun for my daughter and her first time playing soccer!
Coached for the first time, second season playing with i9 and my daughter loves i9. The opportunity to learn in a non-stressful environment has been great. We love the new skills, new friends and time commitment is great. The staff has also been so welcoming and educational. We are so happy to have found i9.
Coaches, parents, and referees all have a positive, supportive attitude. They meet kids where they are and the goal is for all kids to have fun, be included, and improve from when they started. We have played over 5 seasons of basketball with i9 and recommend it to everyone looking to play basketball.
I love that they are only one day a week and the games immediately follow practice. At this age, they are learning. So having a game right after practice helps them to put to practice what they just learned. I also love that everyone gets to play. How can you learn if you can’t play unless you’re already good?
We come back to I9(Christs Haven) mainly for the staff. Jamey and Malik run a family like program that encourages and nurtures young athletes, driving a love for the game. You can tell that they care deeply for the children and the Families. We drive extra just to be a part of their program.
