Honestly, we've only attended one event, a clinic, and this is our first experience with traditional sports all together, so it's hard to say. But we loved the energy from the coaches, and their knowledge. The location was good, sign up and sign in were easy. My daughter had an amazing time and we look forward to our soccer season!
The i9 program has been a great introduction to sports to our family with lots of memorable moments to share!
Enjoyed the level of competitiveness, advocation for sportsmanship and teamwork with integrity. Attending games are very easy and convenient and all of the i9 staff are very friendly and professional!
I like how everyone is so helpful and it seems like the coaches have a lot of support. I feel like my kids do learn about the sports they have chosen and feel safe when they go. We had other experiences elsewhere and my oldest mentioned that she didn’t like it as much. After going to i9 we haven’t gone back.
This program is a great way for kids to learn the rules of the game and develop their skills. However, I’m disappointed with some instances of unsportsmanlike behavior, such as the coaches of the Little Spurs team we played on 11/23. This is the second season we’ve encountered issues with this team, and it’s frustrating when referees are not enforcing the rules or helping educate the players and coaches. A consistent focus on playing by the rules would create a better learning environment for everyone and prevent the game from turning into a free-for-all.
Additionally, I’d like to suggest reconsidering the practice of issuing new uniforms every season. It feels wasteful, especially for families participating in multiple seasons. It would be great to explore options like donating, reusing, or repurposing uniforms to reduce waste and support sustainability.
Thank you for considering these points to help improve the experience for all involved!
The Refs are so friendly and kind in working with the kids.
The team atmosphere is great!
Coach Matt Hizy is AWESOME! He takes such care and interest in each child. He is an exceptional teacher as well as such an encouragement to each player! We are so very blessed to have him coach Robert.
For volleyball, if the coach has to throw the ball over for the team. The opposing team should not loose the point if they don't return the ball. That should be a pointless opportunity. If the ball is returned then play should continue.
All 3 games should go to 15 points
It is very well organized. The website provides all the information, and it is regularly updated. I can contact my team through the website. Stas for kids can be kept. Referees for the games are professional.
