The overview of the sports, and the ease

I like that the program gives kids the chance to learn the fundamentals of sports.

Columbia, MD
We have had a great experience so far. It's been the perfect introduction to soccer for our daughter. The coaches are incredibly positive and encouraging, and the structure of practice and then a game is perfect for what we were looking for. We are so glad we signed up!

This was my first time coaching at the Howard i9 League, and I thought it was well run. One criticism that I had, which I know was shared by the parents, was how the other coach managed his team. During the first three games, he gave roughly 75% of the carries on offense to his best player. After that point, he only had three kids show up for the remainder of the year, which I assume had a lot to do with the other kids not being involved on offense, and forced us to play 3v3 - severely limiting what we were able to run offensively. For those final three games, he doubled down and gave the same kid 100% of the carries. I want to bring this to the league's attention because I'm about to coach my fifth season with i9 this Fall, and I support and encourage the kids I coach to sign up to play in subsequent seasons. So, I want to see i9 continue to grow and succeed. And not including kids in the action is behavior that'll definitely harm retention rates, and lead to bad experiences for the kids and parents involved. Outside of that, our team as a whole had a very positive experience this Summer. I was happy and our parents seemed pleased with how the season went. ~ [NAME REMOVED]

Excellent program that teaches kids the fundamentals of each sport versus just playing. Coaches are very professional and forthcoming which is an essential piece for us as parents. Very well run program with a great overall environment. Our sons will return to play multiple sports. Thanks.

Silver Spring, MD
Great program to teach younger kids how to play soccer. The coach was very understanding, amicable, and was very helpful in teaching his knowledge to the students.

Arbutus, MD
Coaches have been great; very upbeat and positive, making an effort to ensure everyone gets a decent amount of play time. i9 Sports is exceptionally well organized. They're communication is outstanding pre and post season. Additionally, they didn't hesitate to refund my payment when a location change made it difficult for my son to attend basketball, this year.

Laurel, MD
The staff is focused on developing skills while teaching the young people the foundations of sportsmanship. They are doing all of this while having so much fun! Thank you!
