I really have been super impressed with how amazing your organization is with these children! My little one who is playing basketball this season and he can't even get the ball anywhere near the goal to score but is learning how respectful everyone is of each other and at only the second practice the referees and organizers already were calling him by his first name and supported him even when he cried a little on the first day because he didn't know what to do! Our other child is a division 1 College athlete so we are definitely a sports family but it's been soccer with her for the last 20 years so we are excited to join in a different sport and see if that's what my little one wants to stick with and we plan to stay with I9 sports for as long as he wants to because we are so impressed with your organization
An organized program that’s focused on fundamentals, structure, and having fun. Professional and fun staff that work great with the kids. We love i9 sports!
The coaches are very skilled but also highly appropriate for the age group. They keep it fun but also help keep kids focused while always working on skills. By far the best local sports program we’ve done.
Coach Will Smith was INCREDIBLE with our newly basketball-obsessed 5 year old! He learned core skills and terminology about the game in an energetic, supportive environment. More importantly, positive character skills, respectful listening and direction following were seamlessly woven into the practices. Learning accountability and good sportsmanship isn't always easy when you're 5 but Coach Will is a PRO!
It works for our family that it’s all on 1 day, and we LOVE the team my oldest is on (Vedovi). I should’ve marked my youngest as intermediate rather than beginner this season, that was a mistake. One other thing I’d like to mention is that for the days it’s super hot (which we’ve already had), it would be beneficial for all teams to have sideline tents. We bring them to our games, which is kind of a pain, it worth it to keep the kids safe and comfortable. I wish those were provided by I9.
We love it’s just one day a week. The kids get to practice and then play a game right after and use what they just practiced in the game! The whole process is very well organized.
