We LOVE this coach! Wished i9 had other days/times other than Sunday as it often conflicts with church. Also wish we knew the actual time of the practice before signing up as I had to cancel my 3rd son and he had to watch as er couldn’t make the time.
The skill level for i9 soccer is perfect for our son. There are not a lot of non-competitive recreation leagues. The coaches are wonderfully patient. This league is not for everyone but is perfect for our son.
Same day practice and game! Couches are great. Soccer field and location close to our home. Communication via email & text add extra peace of mind. Thank you.
I like the structure of a practice and then the game on Saturday.
A couple of the coaches are real focused on teaching the kids the sport.
Areas of growth:
Tell coaches to put their phones away.
A couple coaches are not focused on teaching the kids the sport, just kind of hanging out.
i9 Sports gives families an easy way to introduce kids to sports. I like the variety of sports offered- baseball, soccer, football, volleyball and basketball. It is very convenient to have practice and games on the same day.
I really enjoy the fun atmosphere that encourages learning and growth in a sport vs the high pressure/competitive environment that other leagues have. I also really like having the practice and games back to back. This allows me to enroll my son without the stress of getting to practice multiple times throughout the week which is extremely valuable as we live in Ramona and have a considerable drive. My son and I are very happy with our first season with i9 and he is enrolled for summer season.
I thought the coaching was really good. One of the volleyball coaches in particular spent a lot of time helping each child individually. They were also always really positive with the kids. I was impressed!
We love the football coaches. So attentive and patient especially with football. I am glad I put them in this season so they could have someone who really understands the game — and be able to slow it down and teach them the fundamentals
My kids love it! They are in basketball (age 6) and baseball (age 4). The sports are very fun, and the kids are always smiling and having a good time. The coaches are very nice and supportive of the kids. I love that i9 promotes having fun and good sportsmanship (over winning/being competitive). At this age, I want my kids to be active, learn new skills, and have fun, so that they grow and develop a lifelong interest in sports.
