Q: How much playing time will my child receive?
A: We are committed that each child receives a fair and balanced allocation of time.
i9 Sports programs are dedicated to emphasize fundamentals, participation, and fun. This policy is clearly communicated to all coaches involved.
If you should have any questions or concerns about playing time, please communicate this to the coach as well as the i9 Sports League Office.

Q: When/How often are the practices?
A: Due to the hectic schedules we face as parents and commitments during the week, there are no required weeknight practices to participate in. Practices are usually held on game day (just prior to the game).
If your child coach offers (1) weeknight practice per week, it will be 100% optional and will not impact the playing time your child receives during the games.
However, most teams have practice an hour or so before their scheduled game, thus making it only a once per week commitment for everyone involved (parents, kids, and coaches.) The emphasis is on having FUN on gamedays!

Q: What are the age brackets?
A: Our youth leagues are open to kids ages 6-14. Actual team age brackets will be determined after the registration deadline by the number of kids that register per league at each age/grade level.
When putting together divisions, we consider age as of when the league begins play, grade level during the current school year, and playing experience to ensure that each team in each division has the same average age, grade level, and experience.
Every effort is made to ensure that all teams are as competitively equal as possible. Should you request to play with a friend, group of friends, or for a specific coach, the special requests will be honored with the requesting kids being placed in the division that the oldest child would normally play in.
