I found the program on the website and was a little nervous. My daughter is 10 years old, she never had any trained before. I love the coaching they are patience and they are focus in basic fundamentals. We will definitely continue with more practice sessions.
It is good for beginners of any age. The coaches and directors use game time to teach.
It has a positive atmosphere. My daughter has some special needs and social anxieties and delays, but i9 really helped her.
i9 is run by a director who cares about each individuals experience. When realizing the program we signed up for wasn't a perfect fit for my daughter, they allowed us to make a change that made everything so much better!
We have been with I- 9 going on 3 years. This is definitely a great organization to start your kids in learning how to play in organized sports. Teaching the kids the values of team work and respect is always a great attribute for the kids to learn and play by. We also have coached in this organization as well for 3 years and enjoy the atmosphere of fun and competition as well.
I love i9s focus on teamwork and sportsmanship. The staff puts focus on players as growing and developing children, not just competitive pawns. This is what childhood sports should be all about. These kids are developing in more ways than just athletically. Many sports programs these days are only about building excellent athletes. We were looking for a program for our son to develop into a better athlete, but more importantly wanted to use the framework of sports to teach him how to be better physically, mentally, emotionally, and spirituality. We are looking for him to learn these lessons of being a better individual all around, without the high pressures of ultra competitive sports leagues that only some kids can excel in.
The staff is super supportive and very easy to work with. Coaches are engaged and the environment is a safe place for kids to learn how to be part of a team. Very organized system.
