The practice happens same day, right before the game. We do not have to commit to meeting more than one time a week. Most materials needed to participate are provided. There are no strict requirements on the items that the family has to provide. The locations of the sporting events are well maintained facilities with relatively easy parking.
I like that it’s only a one day a week commitment. I like the focus on sportsmanship. I do not like that the Snohomish sports dome won’t allow parents of little kids to sit on the sidelines during games.
We love that it is 1 day a week and that it is always in the same place. We have really enjoyed most of the coaches that we have had. It is a good environment for the kids.
We have been really enjoying the program. Our son is 3 years old and is doing soccer. I love the positive attitude the coach and program promotes.
The only suggestion, which I know the coach mentioned this as well, is the time for this age group. We’re at 3pm and that seems to be right when the kids are getting tired and grouchy. It’d be great if the time was a bit earlier for them to be able to get the most out of it! Just my thoughts. It’s been great! Thanks!
Only being week two, I'm really impressed with the communication and support from the staff. I am liking the practice/ games one after another. I like the practice skills lined out ahead of time.
Everything about the organization and games were fun. The communication from i9 is excellent. My kid especially love being at the games and starts preparing for a 1:45pm game from 8am lol.
My son was inrolled in the I9 program since he was 4yrs old for flag football until he aged out.
Now I have my Grandson in the program he has done T ball , Soccer and now doing flag and seems to just love it.
The coaches are fantastic have lots of patience. They are fair to all the kids. The only reason I gave a 9 was that I wish they had a program closer for us. Not enough kids signed up for Snohomish and so we have to go to Lake Stevens which is quite far from Arlington and Mount Vernon.
If they had one in Arlington or Marysville that would have been great. But its workiing out good.
Thank you for all you do.

I like that it’s at a consistent time and isn’t too time consuming and I think great for beginners to ease in. Overall very professional. I think one feedback thing would be the jerseys being included in the price. I’ve done this about 3 times with my son and I don’t think he necessarily needs a new soccer jersey every time. Maybe finding a way to opt out and save on the costs or something. Or a way to reuse an old one?
I like that it is inclusive and that parents volunteer. The refs are great. I wish the age didn’t cap off at 10 because it would be nice for my son to continue playing for this league past that age.
