My son has a lot of fun’s and the parents are great! I love how it’s not super competitive and the kids get to have fun while they learn skills. No stress. It’s a great place to learn the game.
I love that practice is right before the games, that way you don’t have to do a separate class during the week when things are already crazy. I’ve been happy with the facilities that are used. Staff is always kind and helpful
Emphasis on character. Also encouragement to everyone to be positive and encouraged players to have fun and coaches to focus on this more than competition.
This year is the first year that we have had any troubles with i9. I understand not having enough girls to have an all girls 5-6 year old soccer league but I feel it should have been communicated that the league was not able to be all girls due to numbers and then inform us that we would be split into coed teams. My daughters team had to play an all boys team and one boy was much bigger than the girls pushing and shoving. Coach with no i9 coach shirt on saying kick it as hard as you can at them. I’m all for friendly competition but this was not friendly. I know i9 isn’t going to be able to accommodate everyone but like I said a email could have been sent out saying the girls league isn’t going to make and they are making the teams co ed for fairness. Also, this is the first year that we have had schedule issues. We didn’t have an opening day game on our schedule. We were able to get that updated. And the game times were completely wrong. This was updated as well. I understand everyone makes mistakes so we weren’t angry. Other than these things we really enjoy i9.
I love the i9 sports programs because of the friendly, family atmosphere. The positive oaths that parents take is very important to discourage any animosity or frustrations as kids are navigating their abilities playing their sport. I also like how the children learn to work together as a team and build friendships over time.
This has been a great experience for my 6 year old as a beginner in soccer. I love the one day a week schedule and the convenience of where games are played.
I think it’s great all around. Every kid gets to play and it’s a fun atmosphere. I think it is especially great for trying out new sports. It doesn’t feel like it would be an intimidating environment if a child is just starting out.
I love it so much more than YMCA. Never going back. Love the app, communication, it’s so orderly! I also love the parent tunnels at the end of the game
