I like the organization, communications, trading for coaching in advance and setting expectations with players / parents at the beginning of the season
This season’s coach was truly amazing. Supportive, great communicator, taught the boys important aspects of the game, encouraged good sportsmanship. Wish we could have him again but we are aging out.
I like that it help the kids get familiar with the game and helps them decide if they want to build on the skills in the future. The kids create new friendships with other kids. The game helps build confidence and kids learn structure.
The same day practices and games are good for the small kids who are first trying out the sport to learn and see if they enjoy it. As a single mom who can't really take my child to practices during the week just yet, this was wonderful.
I enjoy coaching and having my kids play for this organization but I believe there should be better organization. I have 3 kids playing (2 volleyball and 1 in basketball) so having different facilities makes this hard. If you can keep them in the same facility that would be awesome. The Fall1 and Fall2 was a crazy mess and was super frustrating as a parent but mainly as a coach because I had so many parents complain. Also, keeping the tournament style payoffs is always so much fun; instead of 2 weekends for playoffs.
Again, I enjoy coaching and my kids enjoy playing for the organization but please please don't have an overlap again as it was just way to much as a parent and for the kids.
We have been in Scott Reed’s i9 program in Houston and San Antonio since our son Rhett was 3, he is almost 13! We have played basketball, soccer, and baseball. It was recommended to us by friends as a great way to meet other adult friends in the same season of life. My husband has enjoyed coaching and we have really appreciated the convenience and efficiency of it all. We have thoroughly enjoyed referees and directors as well.
I really enjoy the program because everything is so well organized. We are always informed on a timely manner and reminders are sent to us regularly. Facilities we play at are also well kept and coaches are very patient with the kids.
