I love the atmosphere. The focus on the positive and allowing kids to get used to playing in a stress free environment. I also have been incredibly impressed with the refs this season. We struggled with consistency last season and they have been nothing short of amazing this season. Will absolutely recommend i9!
The location and the overall ease of signing up. The staff that operate the program and ensure its a fun and semi competitive environment do an excellent job.
Easy schedule to help let kids try a new sport without burnout.
Focus on skills and fun before winning, helps kids actually learn a bit about a sport and just enjoy it before they deep dive into competition.
The ability to coach, being able to coach my child’s team and all the kids on it is just so nice to instill a passion I have for a sport into them and watching them learn and grow.
I like how simple things are with i9 and only having one practice a week and on the same day as game day. It makes it easier on children who participate in other sports to still get involved.
The one negative was the coaching aspect. We received multiple emails about needing a coach to volunteer. Thankfully someone stepped up but I wasn’t sure if there could be an opportunity to pay for a coach if no one stepped up.
For our first season playing T-ball we have such great supportive coaches. My son had no experience playing baseball prior to starting i9. After the first practice tball became his favorite activity. He's always excited to go back every week.
We appreciate that the practice is before the game, the games are just long enough for the little ones and the positive attitude that i9 presents for the kids.
Coaches are trained well and since they are volunteers and usually parents they enjoy being there and teaching the kids.
It's a great way to get kids to learn a sport without being pressured about it.
