I really appreciate the ease with I9. Communication is always good and clear. Practices are same day and right before games so we as a family are able to plan our weekends. I also just appreciate the community that we have met and interacted with through the organization. The prices are also some of the more affordable when it comes to trying out new sports. Thank you all for what you do.
Like the practice before game format, the location, and the vibe/focus on kids having fun. The quality of refs can be pretty up and down (in terms of whether they know and/or enforce your rule book).
I've also wondered why we don't move the winter football season to Saturdays. It would prevent a lot of overlap with NFL playoffs/Super Bowl, which most of these kids ands parents want to watch.
Helps children learn good sportsmanship. Basic skills in a game. How to handle winning and losing. Help kids to understand I'm playing a sport is more than just winning and losing and no matter what you keep playing hard and keep trying to improve.
Our daughter is playing her first season of 1st/2nd grade basketball and she is having the best time playing with her team!! She has such wonderful coaches and the refs have been so great and encouraging!
Our family has enjoyed participating in i9 because it is a relatively low time commitment but with a solid amount of skills instruction and competition built into the short time period. We have also been able to make new friends and meet new people!
