We love Amanda Sauceda. She is the Best!
Since my daughter has joined I9 volleyball she has been shown how to play volleyball. Amanda handles the team with so much compassion it’s almost like she isn’t working because she has just as much fun playing with the girls as the team does with her. My daughter and I are happy she got the chance to play for I9 and my daughter and I are extremely grateful for Amanda.
Love that i9 allows kids to play in leagues all year round and has several options each season to choose from. In my experience, staff is always friendly, punctual and great with the kids. My son looks forward to every season!
I have 2 seasons with I9 with my daughter playing volleyball, we have been blessed with an awesome Coach Alex that shows so much dedication and takes his time with his team. We signed up for another season with Coach Alex and looking forward to it.
There's a small layer of competitive attached to a insane amount of positivity. The combination of the two has made for such a fun experience. This is our second season with i9 and we have LOVED seeing our sons skills grow.
The program is fantastic — all the girls in volleyball love it and have a great time. However, there is a coach or staff member who makes the girls feel like they don’t know how to play and seems to be creating her own rules. This is affecting their confidence.
The staff member is Samantha .
She left my daughter and another girl standing with their hands up at the end of the game when everyone was doing high-fives. This is very unprofessional and not appropriate behavior toward children.
A few parents saw it happen, and some are already talking about taking their girls out next season because Samantha behavior.
My kids have been in the Viera program for four years and we love it! Its always organized, scheduled for convenience and the staff and coaches complete focus is on teaching the kids sportsmanship and concept. I9 is a great program in Viera!
My daughter loves playing volleyball ball at Viera HS. The coaches and staff are so friendly, professional and have taught my daughter so much about volleyball. She looks forward to it every week.
The coaches, quality fields, the kids and parents having fun with the kids soccer program. Very well organized with updated communications and Great value! My 3yr old grandson appreciates the coaches instructions, loves the games and his teammates.
I like the program, overall. My child is having fun - which is what it is all about! However, I noticed that the coach of the other team is always keeping score of the games, and my child has noted that this feels unfair. The first day was a different person. All subsequent games have been the other team's coach - and they have lost every game. Perhaps you can have a non-partial staff member keep score or at least switch between coaches? I can see that it has eroded the morale of the team.
Equal Playing Time
i9 program emphasizes participation. Every child gets the opportunity to play and grow, not just the strongest athletes.
🧠 Sportsmanship & Character Focus
The weekly character word (like respect, teamwork, perseverance) helps reinforce life lessons beyond the field. That’s powerful for this age group.
📅 Convenient Format
One practice and one game on the same day makes it manageable for busy families. It keeps commitment reasonable while still providing structure.
🎉 Positive Coaching Environment
Volunteer coaches are encouraged to focus on encouragement and development instead of just winning. That builds confidence in kids during such a critical growth stage.
