FAQ’s

What is the value of joining the Team?
Joining the APEX Comp Team has a monetary value of more than $4000 for each team member. This includes the practices, entrance to competitions, Team jersey and Coach support at competitions.
However, athletes get more than just this financial value from joining the Team. They also get the comraderie and support of being part of a dedicated and professional organization. They will learn both personal and training discipline and gain personal and athletic growth.
What is the cost of joining the Competition Team?
The cost for this $4000+ value for the nine month season is just $1200. We do offer a financing plan if you would prefer to break the payment up into monthly payments. There is a $10 per month administrative fee for financing the cost.
Members receive their discount on this amount. Tier 3 Members get 20% off and Tier 2 Members get 15% off. We are also giving 10% off to Tier 1 Members for the Competition Team. This discount applies whether you pay up front or choose to finance the cost over the 9 months.

Can I join for just a few months of the season?
All athletes will be committed to the entire season and expected to participate with the Team for its entirety.
There is no early terminating for the season. No refunds can be granted and you will be required to continue to pay the monthly dues if you financed
What if I get injured during the season? Can I suspend my Comp Team dues or terminate?
The APEX Competition Team is just that… a Team. We expect each athlete to commit to the Team and show up to all practices even if they are injured. If you are unable to train during a practice, you can still gain valuable knowledge by attending practice. You can also still provide support for your Teammates and get support from them in return.
Heck! Perhaps a Teammate has a magic strength exercise to help you through that sprain or muscle pull.
