I have a 4 year old little boy in the soccer practice program. His coach is super patient with him and makes sure he get to participate even though he is the youngest. He loves going to practice and is very proud to play.
Both of my children were involved in the flag football league for the summer. This coaches Coach Adam and Coach Krishna were amazing. They really tried their best to create a relationship with each kid by getting to know them and provide encouraging words each session.
I also appreciated the text message reminders and emails with information regarding the games/practices. We did have one game/practice that was cancelled due to weather, I would suggest making the call and communicating to parents sooner if possible.
I would highly encourage the i9 team to consider the weather, especially the HEAT and high temperatures when schedule games/practices. It was extremely hot for children to play. If possible, please consider playing in the evening time.
We really like the program. I would like to share a few things for the younger ages soccer.
Maybe consider playing 3/4 VS 3/4 format. Having 5/6 players per team in the field make is difficult to experience soccer. All the kids just get in a big circle bundle. Also, since these are smaller age group the ball consistently gets out of line. Well the refs are constantly stopping the game and the playing time gets wasted because need to grab the ball and reset the players. Possible be easy going on the calls when able to?
