About this raise
Apex Sports is the coach you wish you had. Their online platform allows amateur athletes to learn directly from professional athletes and coaches through exclusive online courses. Each course is priced on an a la carte basis depending on the qualifications of the athlete that developed it. Apex Sports also allows companies to sponsor courses. In January 2018, Apex Sports participated in the UpTech Accelerator program, and in just nine months, they’ve partnered with seven NFL players, including linebacker Joshua Perry, wide receiver Tavarres King, and quarterback Cardale Jones. They’ve also partnered with Under Armour Lacrosse to launch their latest line of online training in September 2018.

Founder Interview
Founder Profile: Bringing Pro Athletes To Youth Sports With Marcus Davis Co-Founder And CEO of Apex Sports
As of August 27th, Apex Sports had raised $11.2K of the current roundYouth sports more than ever play a significant role in the American family household. Families also happen to spend a significant amount of cash on making sure their kids are involved and excelling at sports.
In fact, in 2017 the kids sports industry was a $15B industry. It’s a market where parents are willing to part with their hard earned dollars to ensure their kids can perform at a top level. With such a staggering market size, which I don’t think most people would expect, Marcus and his team at Apex Sports, decided to create a brand new coaching solution brought to youth athletes by the pros.
Their scalable online approach that brings the stars of the game into your living room to learn from is pretty awesome and overall cost affordable.
