I like that practice and games are the same day, making it more doable for busy families. Good amount to get some experience with the game without feeling like it has to be the only thing we do.
The staff & coaches have been incredible with my shy kiddo. They always offer and include him and let him know he is a part of the team even when he’s too shy to bat. I was unsure about starting him as young as 3, but I’m so glad we did because every week he comes out of his shell a little more.
I like the community feel, the values taught, and the supportive nature for the kids. We switched from another baseball program to I9 because the other program felt too intense for the age of the players. I9 has been a much better fit. The coaches are fantastic and patient and their own kids are part of the team. Love that the kids have practice and then a game, and that it's all time limited as other programs can go on way too long and have turned our child away from the sport!
I love the inclusiveness. I recommend the program to everyone especially with young children or children that just want to be a part of a team. I have coached basketball several seasons and I enjoy being out there teaching children the game I love so much. I do however have concerns with consistency in some of the rules and officiating. The i-9 team is great with email response and fixing issues that are brought to their attention. I will continue to use I-9 for my children.
Coach Nina (volleyball training) was wonderful. She stayed late every single week to keep working with the kids and she made it really fun for them. My daughter tried volleyball for the first time and loved it, despite being a total beginner and much younger than some of the other girls. Overall, it was a great experience!
What I like about your program is how cheerful and supportive everyone is. Especially coach Nina. I love how coach Nina doesn't give up on you even if your not the best at volleyball. Which makes volleyball with my coach and teammates all the more enjoyable.
I9sports has provided a good platform for the kids to start to discover themselves regarding how to cooperate with the team, how to win the game, and how to lose the game.
