I grew up playing rec league basketball and I thought this program might have some of those features but NOPE. It was just not as advertised. The whole program seems so thrown together and unorganized. It's not a camp because the kids don't actually learn anything or develop skills. They just get run around for a while and then play against each other. It's not a league because there are no teams. So not sure what the disconnect here is but there's no way I can imagine anyone recommending this to someone. The coed program is too broad. The problem? Girls play with different sizes balls than boys. So what do we do about this? Everyone plays with a NBA size ball and the girls never have a chance. 9 year olds playing on 10 foot rims with size 7 balls is just dumb. There's no way they have the strength to use proper form so they just end up chucking the ball at the rim. The "coach" brought I'm his other team to be at up on the camp kids and then when the brought in team started losing, the coach decides to cheat until they win.

So now we have no skills being learned or refined, no team environment because there aren't enough players for more than 2 teams, no proper equipment, a coach that is more concerned for a different team and his Instagram videos than he is for the development of this i9 team/group, and who do we talk to to address these concerns? No one. No one responds to emails or calls. Good luck in the future i9. We won't be back.

First time my baby boy has played football and the experience has been amazing. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I am so excited we decided to go with i9 Sports. I am looking forward to future business with them. #10Stars

My 6 yrs old son enjoyed a lot in basketball league match. All the instructors are so professional. They are encouraging the kids to give their best during the match. Will surely recommend i9 sports.

I have used I9 sports once and that's all I need. This was my first time putting my kid into a sport and I expected what I paid for. They didn't get pictures because the lady was sick. We we're told she would come the next week but didn't show. We we're also told our kids would get trophy's which never came during the season. At first we were told due to weather on the east coast they were delayed. Yeah that's cool we understand. But it has now been months I drove out of my way on January 26 to Cuyamaca College where Janet said she would have them for us. However when we showed and went to get them she forgot them at home. She then stated she would mail them and got our address. Well it's now been a month and nothing in the mail. I have emailed with her asking again about them on February 14th she said she would mail them out no later then tomorrow. Well it's now over a week later and nothing!! This is NOT how you run a business and get people back! The coaches were absolutely amazing and great with the kids.
I recently wrote a Yelp review on 2/21 and this weird thing happened my son's trophy was mailed out and received two days later even though my email from her states February at the latest.

Amazing program for my
5 year old. The coaches are very patient with these little ones and it seems everyone is having a fun time. My son misses it and can’t wait to sign up
Again.
