We are impressed by the amount of staff and the organization that goes into every game day. I enjoy the kids getting to earn rewards and coupons for local restaurants. I also really enjoy the half time competition that gets everyone involved in the action
Great overall program. One day per week is convenient for parents, but tough for the coaches and hard for the kiddos to improve with limited time together
My son has been doing i9 sports consistently for about 2 years now- we have tried every sport! My family loves having practices and games on the same day. We love how friendly and encouraging all of the coaches have been. Brian responds promptly to my emails and makes any necessary changes that are requested- it is much appreciated!
I enjoy the fact it isn't competitive. Sure, there is a score but between parents, kids, and coaches it doesn't feel like win or lose just fun. I like that both games and practice are the same day (within an hour) especially with keeping a family's schedule in line. It would have been nice before the season started for a mini boot camp to go over how the game looks and rules - kids to practice plays and using equipment as for some it is literally their first time. Some sort of team bonding where the kids could actually know the other kid's names (again could be a part of the mini boot camp). For our son this is the first sports team he has been on outside of school and so far it's been a good experience - he enjoys Saturdays and has his game outfit on first thing which is exciting to see as a parent. Thank you I9 Sports for making it possible!
The coaches seem good about letting all the kids get play time, even kids who are new and not the best
I love that there is a focus on fun, not competition
We enjoyed how organized the games were. The staff and refs seemed fair, and I was impressed with how they made calls but also seemed to educate students on why the call was made. While we know our location was used in place of the original setting, it was quite a distance from the original gym which did create some problems. It was also REALLY warm which prevented some family members from being able to attend. WE are thankful the season wasn't cancelled, but the site was less than desired.
This was the perfect intro to soccer for our 8 yr. old daughter. Practice and games are on the same day, back-to-back. If you have multiple kids at different ages, the different ages play at different times, making it possible to show all your kids you care about their games!
