Coaching
Interested in coaching? Volunteers are always needed. Fill out a coach interest form here!
Knowledgeable volunteer coaches are the backbone and face of our youth athletic programs. They teach skills, provide leadership, and lead practices and games throughout the season. League schedules vary, but most leagues have one practice each week and a game on the weekend. 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. The Town of Apex follows guidelines suggested by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) for denying applications to serve as a volunteer coach.
