Practice and game all in the same day
The volleyball program was a great starting point for our daughter. The staff is very helpful and the program is priced right.
With a busy child that zips from one activity to another, I like that i9 has opportunities for young children like him to try sports and spend just 1 hour a week on that sport. It is just enough time to practice, but not too long that it is overwhelming for him. I also like that he is introduced to playing on a team, listening to direction, encouraged to get out of his comfort zone. All those things are essential for social development . Although my son isn’t very coordinated, and is a little intimidated by the game, the coach still encourages him to participate and hypes up the kids so they’re all having fun. At the end of the game, if my son had fun, I feel that the i9 programs are successful.
Flexibility to try out multiple sports each year
Loved that fields and play times didn’t change! Kids had so much fun!
I like the people involved. It is laidback and not so intense like other leagues. The coaches treat the kids like kids and focus on fun and learning.

Ease of registering and very organized at the fields. My son loves playing with i9 sports.
Good for kids new to playing sports.
The coaches really help the kids learn the sport. As a single mom, I really appreciate the way they take time to ensure the kids understand the different positions and the over all sport. Most of all the kids have a great time while learning and playing.
Thank you. for suce a great survey,
The only flaw was during the initial sign up, it was stating that the location was going to be in the Norwood Park area. This was one of the main reasons we signed up for this program. Then a few days before the actual practice started, they gave an Elgin location, which is an 40 min drive to and from where we live. That was not cool but kept my daughter enrolled because we had already talked about going and she was excited about it. And I’m glad we kept her in! The staff and coaches are really good with the kids and really teach them skills on how to play the game. Over all, we are really happy with this clinic and will sign her up again but I hope this time it will be closer to home!
I love how i9 is focused on fun and skill, not competitiveness. It's wholesome and family oriented. We have enjoyed all of our experiences since joining!
Coaches are amazing with the kids, so patient and helpful. I also really appreciate the fact the practices are right before games. Makes it a lot easier on our already packed schedules. Thank you!!

Its a great start for the children to start learning about the sports without feeling pressured. I love that the coaches let the kids have fun and enjoy the sport.
The coaches are great.
Easy 1 day a week commitment
My daughter has had some really good coaches in this program. She's learned some good skills that has helped her as she plays for her high school team. I also like that you play at LM High School which is conveniently located for us.
Consistent days, weekly skill lessons and fun games. My daughter is improving weekly.
I like the structure of learning skills and then playing a game. It’s a good way for kids to become familiar with sports.
That its only a day a week commitment. This is a great introductory to this sport.
Very friendly and patient coaches with little kids and know to get their attention and follow the instructions or rules of the game in a fun way for the little children. My son loves it
We love that the seasons are not too long. We also like having practice before the game. The one-day-a-week commitment works well for us - especially since our athlete is 5. The coaches have been amazing and caring people. Thank you!

We love the positive energy, encouragement and the teamwork. We are so happy to have found I9!
