Love the once a week commitment. We have had an excellent experience with our coach (Mike Chaney)— he has been great with the kids and a good combination of teaching, skills, and fun! So appreciative of his time and effort.
The environment was very positive and encouraging, which was critical for my new-to-basketball child. I am impressed by how much she has thrived in this environment and plan to sign her up for another season!
The staff is very organized. The staff is also very patient with the kids. I9 does a great job with keeping parents informed and updated to schedules, training and upcoming events.
Kids sports are being kept as KID'S sports! I understand there was a young coach that was out of line - and he was removed - BRAVO!! Not one of those children are being drafted or scouted or off to the Olympics tomorrow and the energy of the coaches, refs, and families falls in line with that ideal - this is a time of fun, learning, and exercise. Keeping the attention on the appropriate age and stage for these kids - that sports should be about learning to play as a team and work towards a common goal - love this environment for it!
Please hand out shirts on the first day of practice. I understand giving out medals at the end but it doesnt make sense to give out i9 shirts the last day of camp. The kids want to feel part of a team so giving out the shirts the first practice allows them to wear it each week, plus it gives you all advertising.
Great coaches, well organized with both training and matches, and the kids have fun while learning the value of teamwork and sportsmanship! A+ organization!
