Detailed Summary

The Town of Apex offers a variety of youth sports programs throughout the year, providing children with opportunities to engage in soccer, baseball, flag football, basketball, and more. These programs not only encourage physical activity but also foster social connections and personal growth through teamwork. Each sport has designated contacts for specific age groups, so if you have questions or want to get involved, you can reach out directly to Evan Kramer, Kyle Talley, or Austin Ohms. Registration for our spring and summer leagues is now open, and we have a full slate of activities planned, including youth baseball, soccer, and volleyball. Remember that age cut-off dates apply for each sport, so please check the details to ensure your child is placed in the correct league. You can find all the necessary information and register online through our website. We are also looking for volunteers to coach our youth teams. Coaches play a vital role in shaping the experience of young athletes, and all volunteers will receive training and undergo background checks. Additionally, I want to highlight our 500 Fist Bumps initiative, which aims to strengthen connections between coaches and players, promoting a positive environment for growth and teamwork. If you are interested in coaching or officiating, please reach out to Patrick Fitzsimons for more details.

Get Involved. Volunteer to Coach!

Our volunteer coaches are the face of our youth athletic programs. They lead
practices and games throughout the season. Most leagues have one practice each
week and a game on Saturday. Some leagues will also have games on Sundays or
during the week. All of our coaches are trained and certified through the
National Youth Sports Coaches Association (NYSCA). All volunteers are required
to complete a background check before participating in any practices or games.

to help coach a team, please fill out the interest form located on that
sport's webpage. For general questions about volunteering, please contact

500 Fist Bumps Initiative

500 Fist Bumps is a heartfelt commitment across
our Town to consciously connect with, uplift and recognize the vibrant
children within our athletic realms. During each practice or game, dedicated
Apex coaches and staff pledge to forge connections with our young athletes,
cultivating a nurturing atmosphere by offering fist bumps in moments of
triumph, effort, perseverance, and everything in between!

Why embark on the 500 Fist Bumps initiative? A simple, positive touch can
weave a tapestry of belonging, alleviating stress and lowering blood pressure,
ultimately paving the way for enhanced mental health and well-being. This
initiative emphasizes the art of intentional connection-building, fortifying
our community and team spirit. Teams that embrace physical gestures can also
witness a surge in overall performance. By fostering inclusivity among all
players, we create a thriving environment where everyone can flourish and
contribute to collective success!

Feedback from one parent : "Initiatives like these not only offer valuable
growth opportunities for children but also play a significant role in
strengthening our community as a whole. By nurturing our younger generation
through such engaging and educational activities, Apex is fostering a sense of
belonging, connection, and long-term investment in the town’s future."
