What APEX Offers

Our mission is simple: give Iowa athletes a true development pathway from youth through high school and beyond.

Adult Training

CAMPS, CLINICS, & CLASSES

  • We host football camps for all positions during Thanksgiving break, winter break, spring break, and during the summer. These are great introductory opportunity for athletes to learn the fundamentals of the game and grow their love of football.

  • We have seasonal class opportunities for our youth called "Apex Football Membership" that allows kids 8-14 the chance to extend football season. These classes focus on the basics of football skill and athletic development.

  • We host/run larger programs in the spring, such as our High School 7v7 League, our OL/DL Big Man Academy, and our Youth Indoor Flag Football League.

  • * We have recently partnered with Team Iowa Football to expand more youth football opportunities across the state. 

  • Through D1’s Recovery/Therapy program and partner resources, our athletes gain access to tools and treatments that keep them healthy, durable, and able to train consistently during in-season and off-season.
