i9 Sports is one of the best youth sports programs in Oregon and an incredible asset to our Portland community. The program is built on inclusiveness, sportsmanship, and positive character development, creating a fun and welcoming environment where every child can grow, learn, and feel valued. Steve Wick is an outstanding program manager—always present, highly involved, and supported by an exceptional coaching staff that consistently makes each season a great experience. We especially love the wide variety of year-round sports and camps; even though our son has outgrown some of the leagues, he still looks forward to coming back every summer because of the positive atmosphere and sense of community.
My son had fun and Steve who ran the Cook Park location was great. All the other councilors seemed nice as well. They knew my son’s name and we had no issues.
I liked how simple it was to participate, the clear communication, and that the needed gear was provided. I appreciated the focus on values like teamwork and sportsmanship. Thank you!
Great way to introduce children and youth to sports as it’s a beginner friendly program but overall shows each player how to work as a team and have fun. My son and I have had a great first experience that we are already planning on future seasons to join with i9sports.
The focus on teamwork and regardless of winning or losing, the amount of time each player gets to better their game is awesome! Great sportsmanship is taught to each player and the coaches actually care about the skills being taught.
It’s a perfect way to let them try out each sport at a young age. The parents that have taken on the responsibility of coaching the kids have been really good about keeping it. Fun and teaching them to be competitive but also teaching the kids about good sportsmanship plus I like that it is co-ed. It is also well organized so I will be sure and recommend it.
I like that the times are not early morning, lots of locations to chose from. I like that there is a value for each day for the kids. Organization of the league seems to be done well.
