The program is absolutely fantastic! Whether your child is a complete beginner or already has some experience, it’s a perfect fit. Coach Sarah gives every child individual attention and support, and she also has a few helpers who make sure each child gets the attention they need. She teaches with real skill and care, offering great advice and ensuring proper technique from day one.
Every minute of practice is used wisely—kids are constantly learning and improving. I’m so grateful we found this program!
They are super encouraging and you can tell they enjoy what they are doing. They make the kids feel that they aren't just a number, remembering their names, making each one feel important and that they all have great skills!
The positivity at i9 is amazing.
My daughter started playing volleyball through i9 after a horrible, traumatic experience in little league softball where a coach had essentially bullied my child out of the sport. Even trying a new sport after that experience was difficult. On her very first day however, my daughter was the recipient of the sportsmanship award for that game and the i9 coach came up to me after (in front of my daughter) to tell me what an amazing kid she was and praise the effort she’d put in.
Coach Sarah had no idea about my daughter’s most recent sports experience and no way of knowing just how meaningful that award and her words of positivity were, but it was exactly what my daughter needed to be able to move on and enjoy a sport again.
We’ve done another league and a clinic since then and it is the same positive experience every time. I would recommend i9 and Coach Sarah to anyone, any time.
I love that your programs are focused on teaching sportsmanship in addition to teaching the skills of the sport. Thank you for not making performance the priority. I also appreciate that during league play the practice and game are back-to-back so we do not have to give up multiple days to the sport. Your coaches and staff are very encouraging and supporting and my kids are always excited to return!
I appreciate the variety of sports offered and many location/time/date options, and I appreciate the camp counselors who have made my child's experience a positive one!
