D1 Training - APEX AIR 7V7
Development First. Competition Always.
APEX AIR 7-on-7 is a developmental football program for athletes ages 10 to 18. The main emphasis of the program will be the developmental opportunities within the 35+ practices and scrimmages against ourselves/other programs.
We will also be fielding competitive teams to enter tournaments within the 10, 12, 14, 15 and 18u divisions. These rosters will be capped at 12 per team per tournament. Roster spots will be determined by merit through evaluation during practice performance and scrimmage performance. Multiple teams may be entered depending on program enrollment.
Beginning in February, Apex Air will practice 2 days during the week (Mon/Wed) and 1 practice every other Friday. We will continue practice through the end of April. All practices will be held at D1’s 13,000 sq ft indoor facility in Sportsplex West, Sportsplex Norwalk, Fareway Fields at Gregg Young Sports Campus, or MidAmerican RecPlex.
What Makes Apex Air Different?
Apex Air isn’t just another 7-on-7 travel team. It’s Iowa’s premier football development program, designed to sharpen athletes’ skills, raise their football IQ, and prepare them for the next level. While many programs chase rosters and tournaments, Apex Air is built differently: every athlete trains, but only the most prepared and deserving compete.
