We love the focus on sportsmanship. Every staff member I have interacted with has been excellent - and the way they interact with kids is always respectful, caring and positive. I think my boys have participated in 4 seasons and there has never been a disagreement between players on the court, there has never been an angry word said by a coach and there has never been an outburst by a parent.
My boys aren't the most talented athletes - and in other sports programs they have spent more time on the sidelines - I love the inclusiveness of i9 and the positive feedback given to kids when they are trying their best. Going to these practices/games is something everyone in our family looks forward to.
I especially like the vibe being about sportsmanship. Every coach and ref I have interacted with in the seasons we have been a part of have been amazing with kids. The communication with families is excellent. It's just been a good experience.
Everyone plays, competitive atmosphere focused on growth while maintaining exceptional sportsmanship, best coaches and volunteers of any program- your great people are such an asset.
From admin to the coaches, everyone is kind and considerate of each child's needs. Also, the facilities at Dominican University are fantastic. The kids love going there and meeting new friends from all over.
The spirit of the program is sportsmanship and it shows in every part of the game. The staff, coaches and refs are all terrific with the kids! There has been literally no negativity just skill building and fun. It's a great program!
Good combination of instruction and game play. The kids are respectful and enjoy the team aspect. Nice to see young high school and college age students working as coaches and instructors. I enjoy being the parent volunteer and motivating my team.
