Customer Testimonials
Coaches have been very supportive!
This is our second year with i9sports. As a coach I am incredibly appreciative of the resources you guys offer us and I don't know how you guys recruit referees but keep doing it because Bruin, Juda and Haley (at Amanda North Elm location) have been amazing. They are very calm and helpful. I have asked questions about soccer off the field and they explained it. I questioned a call on the field (I never do that) and one of the guys could have ignored me or just said "it was fair." He didn't, he told me "yes it did count because ......" Which I really really appreciated the explanation plus I was able to inform my husband later that night why it did count. They are kind and respectful to the kids and even play around and give them pointers. I have seen them tell a kid in the middle of a game "buddy, be sure to do it this way." The players are getting a crazy good experience and exposure and those referees are adding to the whole experience. As a parent i9 was exactly what I was looking for. I played competitive sports and loved it but I had many years of rec sports and many different experiences. I love how fun and how aggressive the parents are NOT. This is a great concept, a great league....not to little and not too much. Goldilocks!
Everything
The i9 experience is exceptional. Fun and easy gamedays make i9 soccer experiences second to none. Thank you i9 for a great season!
I like that it’s one day a week. It’s very doable when you have a busy schedule.
Their coaching staff is amazing! They are engaging, supportive, motivating leaders that bring out the best in our kids. i9 offers a safe, fun and friendly environment for first timers to learn, and more experienced players to explore and grow their leadership skills.
Coaching taught real skills
We love it!
I love the variety of sports that are available for the kids, also I. Love hours my son comes home exhausted but happy from making new friends trying new sports and having great support from the staff D and coaches!
Everyone plays! Only a one day week commitment! All just for fun!
My son did the Spring Break Nike Kids Camp Half Day. He absolutely loved it! He said it was fun, Loved the snacks and the Easter egg hunt on the last day was awesome! I highly recommend. Kept my kid off devices over the break and enjoyed 4 hrs a day of outdoor play and sports.
coaches, location, time
Coaches have been kind, enthusiastic and well organized. It’s been a great experience as beginners to both the sport and program.
The skills taught on and off the field.
It is fun and laid back. Not overly competitive. It is age appropriate and good just to teach kids about the sport they are playing and let them have fun. It is convenient having the practice and game on the same day.
One day per week commitment. Beginner level. Fun, family environment. Very organized.
The program has been consistently well‑organized, communication has been clear, and the coaches create a positive, encouraging environment for the kids. I really appreciate the focus on sportsmanship and skill‑building without unnecessary pressure. It’s been a great fit for our family, and we’re grateful for the experience.
We have done multiple seasons with I9, and have loved the emphasis on sportsmanship. I love that the focus is to teach kids to love sports and have fun with sports, and not always just to win.
Our family also really enjoys the convenience of scheduling. Having the practice immediately followed by the game is very family friendly. It’s also nice that the seasons are short because it allows kids to try different sports without committing for any elongated period of time.
Awesome engagement, leaving no child behind no matter performance level. Personality are welcoming and very gentle. I fully support this program!
I like that they're focused on teaching the kids how to play the sport and developing both the actual sport skills, but also team player/sportmanship skills. They really work hard to make sure that everyone has a fair chance to play and they offer individual guidance when they can. My daughter has really enjoyed participating and is excited to continue honing her skills to hopefully play for the school team!
I love the flexibility of having the practice and the game on the same day and only lasting approximately an hour and a half. It really make sports possible for busy families with a lot of children.
Thank you!
Great officials, easy to use app with message communication with team built in. Training ingredients and certifications provided for coaches. Balls and cones provided on game day for warm-up. Medals for all the kids. Clearly marked field numbers on game day.
I am super impressed with the organization.We get emails significantly in advance and the practice and games are together and consistent.I see some friends in other organizations that are scrambling every week to figure out which day the practice will be. Also, the coaches here at I nine have always been positive and encouraging from my experience.
Coach Calvin Blades has been awesome. Great experience this season and plan to return next season.
Promote fun and good sportsmanship.
The coaches did an amazing job getting all the kids involved. This program is a great introduction to the sport. Sometimes it can be very overwhelming for kids when they don’t fully understand the sport and are thrown into competitive matches with little practice.
I9 gives every player a chance to play and have fun for the game they choose. Staff is great and always ready to help!
Practice and game are on the same day.
Having patience and understanding with the kids.
I like the coaches. The events are well organized. The location is close to the house.
