Customer Testimonials
Very family friendly environment and the focus on teaching kids about the sport is amazing! I’ve coached for I9 and been a parent on the sidelines and have always enjoyed the experience!!
Great instructors! My kids love it!
Coach Holmes has been great! He has well qualified assistance, holds team members accountable, is inclusive of all players new and experienced. He takes time to demonstrate and displays patience. I am very impressed with his ability to coach, adapt, and demand a whole rooms attention. This coach is a valuable asset and I am sad to know this is his last season, I wish we had found him sooner!
The coaches really care about the kids and there future
Like the online portal and the email updates. Could have used more clarity on the coaching situation.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about i9 Sports! My son has been participating in their flag football program, and it has been such an amazing experience for both him and our family!
The staff and coaches are absolutely incredible! They are patient, encouraging, supportive, and genuinely care about every child. What I love most about this program is that every child gets the opportunity to participate, learn, and feel included, regardless of their skill level or experience. No child is left out, and everyone is made to feel like an important part of the team.
It’s so refreshing to see a program that focuses not only on teaching the fundamentals of football but also on building confidence, teamwork, sportsmanship, and friendships. The positive environment they create makes such a difference!
As a parent, there is nothing better than watching your child have fun, grow, and feel proud of themselves. I would highly recommend i9 Sports to every family! Every child deserves an experience like this. A huge thank you to all the wonderful coaches and staff for making this such a memorable and rewarding experience!
Engaging and intentional programs geared to make sports a fun learning experience.
Teaching teamwork, respect, and sportsmanship.
As a coach, I like the weekly guides. The guides engage every kid playing…even the ones who struggle and want to play with the flowers in the field.
Coach Collin is amazing with my so! He is always willing to help him and guide him when he isn’t understanding or simply being shy. He tells us every Friday he’s ready for soccer on Saturday morning!!
I like that we practice and play same day
Scheduling and great community of families. Also very organized at the fields.
Game and practice the same day.
It was welcoming and very fun. We enjoyed the staff and there helpfulness.
I love it!! The children have fun while doing sports, thank you for everything you do for our children
I love that the practice and the game are on the same day. The coaches are great with the kids!
It's' structured well and the yard signs are a nice touch for the kids and the company to advertise.
The coaches are kind and enjoy coaching the kids
Well organized and the kids have fun.
We like the coaches. We also like the organized and efficient use of the facilities.
Always on time, fairness to all kids, very organized, explanations are clear. Very happy overall
It’s refreshing to have an option for youth sports that doesn’t require committing 3 days per week. I also really appreciate that the schedule for practice/games is clear when signing up and that we know the location at signup as well.
The other sports leagues we looked essentially said practices/games could be anywhere in SW Portland or anywhere in SE Portland, and some didn’t even confirm what days of the week practice would be on until after registration was over. The i9 approach is far preferable for functioning in real life!
We also love our coach and have found the league to be well run. Thanks for a great first season! We will be signing up for more!
I do like the i9 Program. I specifically coach for my sons in both Pee wee and super pee wee. My feedback through my 6+ season doing this is some of the expectations in the rules for these kids is a little over the top. Calling a Safety in a Super Pee Wee game is something that is unnecessary. These kids do not understand that concept. Alot of them have never even played the game. And that ruling in football is punishing the team that caused it. Some of these kids do not even run the right way, but that is ok.....its not to them if they hurt their team with a Safety.
I love that the practice and game are the same day. This is the first sport my son has played and I’m glad he’s enjoyed it thus far. Only think I can complain about is that the teens from i9 lock up the bathroom too soon after the games over. We are always the last game of the day. Parents are still packing up and getting stuff together to haul to their cars and kids have to go to the bathroom too. If they could remain there for like 15 minutes after the game ends for the day, it would be much appreciated.
I would like to commend the entire coaching staff for their excellent sportsmanship and support. My son thoroughly enjoys his Saturday sessions, and we are looking forward to registering him for the upcoming season.
