I really enjoy this league and have been coaching for the past two seasons. Overall, it's been a great experience for both me and my kids.
My biggest concern with the current summer season is that there are only two teams in our age division, including mine. I think i9 should have combined our age group with a similar division to create a better experience and provide more competition.
I also don't like how the registration pricing works. The best price is only available if you register several months in advance. For example, our summer season started in June, but you had to register before then to get the $150 rate. If you wait until the current season is underway to sign up for the next one, the price jumps to nearly $200 per child. As a parent of two kids and a volunteer coach, it's difficult to commit that far in advance while we're still focused on the current season.
I think registration fees should stay more consistent throughout the registration period, and volunteer coaches who dedicate their time to the league should receive some type of discount. It would go a long way in supporting the families who help make the league successful.
I love how patient the coaches are. My son was able to have fun and meet new friends as well. When I originally called to sign my son up , all my questions were answered and the guy was very informative and nice.
The opportunity to be volunteer coaches with our child. We love the program And the fact that we get to pick our own name for our team for every season 🙌🏿
We are here to play soccer Be safe and have fun.
I really liked the sportsmanship that was shown throughout the season. I did not like my son’s team did not have a designated coach like the other teams.
I love how they find the strengths of each child on the team and encourages/reinforces them in a healthy way. Coach Natalie is so positive and patient at every game. I love i9 and I recommend it to all of my friends who have littles!
My son Jai’ has played two seasons last year at the Ocoee location. He won two championships! He loved his experience with his teammates and coaches. This year we missed the deadline and switched locations. He has been playing this summer in Lake Mary. It took some adjusting but he is having so much fun! I truly appreciate all of the support and encouragement everyone pours into the kids. Jai’ is continuing to evolve with his craft. He does some training outside of i9 occasionally. However, we are truly blessed for everyone who dedicates their time to i9. Very professional and friendly staff. Jai’ just had one of the best games he’s ever had. He scored 30 points this past Saturday. The final score was 44-26. It was the first game they won all season. We are grateful for these memories that will shape his future and love for the game!
The basketball is perfect for kids that are playing to learn and aren’t necessarily playing basketball as their main sport. It’s been excellent for both of our girls to gain experience in a less competitive environment. It has really helped their confidence in the sport and that will cross over to their school team they play on. Both girls have had a lot of fun!
