My experiences with i9 for both my son and daughter have only been positive! I9 culture values sportsmanship and teamwork, and it’s evident in the growing confidence I see in my kids. Most importantly, they have fun out there!
Awesome service in communication of updated information regarding schedules and changes.
The staff and coaches stand by their moto: "Excellence in Sportsmanship"
What we love:
1. The consistency of programming and scheduling.
2. The early posting of game schedules with very minimal changes (big advantage over other leagues)
3. The family feel on game days. No overly aggressive coaches or fans (mostly)
4. Support from Rene and Loren
What we struggle with:
1. Effort and consistency of game day referring.
a. Some refs either don't know the i9 rules or get
mixed up with rules from other leagues.
b. Lack of energy and effort from particular refs
impacts the outcome of the game.
What we'd like to see:
1. Activation of the player stats
2. Bring back the end of season email blast with team pics. We were really looking forward to this last season. Was this just missed?
3. Scoreboards made available for the games. This is a common remark from parents.
Happy to be involved with i9!

With a busy child that zips from one activity to another, I like that i9 has opportunities for young children like him to try sports and spend just 1 hour a week on that sport. It is just enough time to practice, but not too long that it is overwhelming for him. I also like that he is introduced to playing on a team, listening to direction, encouraged to get out of his comfort zone. All those things are essential for social development . Although my son isn’t very coordinated, and is a little intimidated by the game, the coach still encourages him to participate and hypes up the kids so they’re all having fun. At the end of the game, if my son had fun, I feel that the i9 programs are successful.
