We were in Clarkston, our daugther's first time playing (any sport!) soccer. Kingsley was her coach and he was AHHHMAZING! Enthusiastic, positive yet really teaching & challenging the kids as well. We will be back next year for sure!!
The of 45 min of practice and 45 min of game play is great for young athletes who are still learning the sport (and parents who don’t want to commit to a separate practice time at this age). Also the i9 staff is helpful with providing drills and a general structure to the practice and games. They also make it fun and encourage all the players. I chose i9 for the well organized structure and the inclusive, supportive environment which allows my child to develop skills and have fun playing.
The program is inclusive. The participants are provided opportunities to participate even when the are not necessarily skilled. They are encouraged to work together as a team
I think flag football is too long for 4 year olds. I think an hour would be better for that age. It’s rough to keep them engaged for that long. The coaches were great though!!
i9 provides such an encouraging environment for kids! The staff is amazing and I really appreciate the communication, reminders, and weekly updates. My son is learning so much because the programs focus on fostering a love for sports and sportsmanship.
We like that there is an i9 employee to help coach the practices and games. It makes a difference in how practice is run, than traditional parent coach only.
What I like most about i9 Sports is that it gives kids the opportunity to learn teamwork, sportsmanship, and discipline while having fun. I appreciate that the programs focus on building confidence, developing skills, and making sure every child feels included, regardless of their experience or ability.
I love that the program is about learning and encouraging kids to try their best! Too many sports programs are overly competitive and aggressive, it’s overwhelming. This is a great program for kids to try out different sports and see if they like them first, without a huge time or money commitment.
