WE NEED VOLUNTEER COACHES!
It is our goal to have two Volunteer Assistant Coaches per team (one head coach, one assistant). Having two coaches will ensure a backup in case one is unavailable. 

Never coached before? No Worries! We have Staff Instructors for every sport that will plan and lead all of the practices each week. We will provide you with all the tools necessary to have a great season. There are no weekday practices making this the easiest and most rewarding coaching experience possible. If you can give a "high five," and scream "great job," you can Coach with i9 Sports!

If you would like to help out on your child's team and have not already filled out the Volunteer Application, please click on the link below and do so now! Remember, all of our staff and Volunteer Coaches are required to complete a background check.

Questions? Please email the Program Director, Arin Finger arin.finger@i9sports.com

Schedules and Rosters:
We begin creating rosters and schedules on our deadline day and continue to adjust them through opening day.  We get a large number of late registrations, so the rosters continually evolve the weeks leading up to Jamboree Day.  We will publish schedules 1-2 weeks prior to opening day, PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAILS for detailed team and field assignments.  

Parents, you should hear from your Volunteer Assistant Coach, Staff Instructor or League Office approximately 3-4 days before our opening Jamboree Day. 

If you registered over the phone or at one of our in-person events, please make sure you complete the online waivers. You should've received a reminder email from us on this if you have yet to complete them.
