i9 makes it easy for families to experience new sports or sports that the kids just want to play with their friends. I appreciate that practices are before games. The ref's they hire have been easy to work with and understand they are kids learning new sports. I have never coached but really enjoy getting to see the parents who do coach give the kids understanding, knowledge, and love for a sport.
i9 Sports has been a wonderful experience for our second-grade flag football team this fall season. The league's philosophy and execution are top-notch—the referees deserve special recognition for their teaching approach. Rather than strictly penalizing every mistake, they take time to educate the kids on the rules, which is exactly what young players need at this age. This has created a positive learning environment where the kids are developing both skills and confidence.
My only complaint centers on the flag belts. For several players on our team, the flags don't align properly on the hips and fall off far too easily during gameplay. We had a particularly frustrating moment when one of our players made a great interception and had a clear path to score, but his flags fell off mid-return through no fault of his own. Having coached WAYA flag football as well, I can say their belt system is significantly more secure and functional.
The equipment issue aside, i9 Sports delivers on what matters most: quality coaching moments, fair officiating, and a fun environment for kids to learn the game. I'd recommend the league but suggest they consider upgrading their flag belt system.
This program was lots of fun for my child. He received tons of positive encouragement even without much natural skill or talent. He enjoyed learning, playing, and making friends through sports.
This is the second year we have signed up for multi-sport camp and my son loves it. His coach this year was so energetic and fun and he was so excited to go each day.
Our coach was excellent and I like that all the kids were from my kids school and most from his class. The kids liked it too because they got to play against other schools and felt the mini rivalry
