I love the agreement we all make to let the kids have fun without the pressure of coaches and parents treating them like professional players. The kids thrive and truly excel with their skill levels in this environment and the stress is so much lower.
We highly recommend I9 Sports because it's an excellent sports program that offers an array of ascribe to develop students athletic abilities, team work, good sportsmanship, and social skills. The coaches have been great, the refs are very professional and the parents and children involved, have been graceful when losing and merciful in victory. These are life skills developing that can nurture a healthy lifestyle and a solid basis for character building dynamics. Thank you for offering our children an healthy and safe outside activity that keeps them focused on a positive experience!

I am so impressed by the academy program. The coaches are upbeat and positive, the drills and practices are consistently challenging & building on previous skills, and our daughter has learned so much in the past three months. Our family does not want to commit to clubs or travel teams for our kids but our daughter is very competitive and this program is a perfect fit for her. She also loves the Saturday league. She has loved playing with different kids and having a game every week. I’ve noticed that the skills that she has been frustrated with herself at times during academy practice, she really tries to practice and improve on Saturdays. I think the relaxed setting of Saturday league is a great environment for that. The combination of both leagues has been a great balance. I’m so glad that we found i9!
Locations are close to home with very little driving, practice followed by weekly game allows for child(ren) to also participate in other activities, and knowing that games are usually finished by noon allows planning for other weekend activities, too, and coaches and staff have all been very fun.
I9 in Riverview has the best coaches and are passionate about getting the most out of the players and get the parents involved. I coach at another venue and it’s night and day. When the parents are involved, the kids try harder and push themselves more. Great job to Brad and the staff.
We’ve had our son in Volleyball Academy for two seasons, and we couldn’t be more impressed. This program is exceptional for any young player aged 8-15 who wants to elevate their volleyball skills without the high costs of a club. The coaches here are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the sport. The way they train and develop players, with a focus on building fundamentals and teamwork, mirrors what you’d expect from a top-tier club program.
With 2-3 training sessions per week, players get a well-rounded experience, from high-quality drills to repetitions and live game scenarios. It’s the perfect place for young athletes to grow and refine their skills before making the leap to club volleyball. We highly recommend this program to anyone serious about taking their game to the next level!
The league, clinics, and training seasons are age appropriate, fun, and engaging for the kids. The coaches are patient, kind and pleasures to work with especially coach Nick. The programs are well communicated via text and email, so you are well informed on program opportunities, weather cancellations, and incentives to continue with the program.
