Apex Youth Game Action Shots
This is by far the one of the best events I have ever attended as a parent. These kids idolize the PLL lacrosse players and to have them coach was such a great experience for my son (he is bragging to his friends). Besides that the organization with how well the event ran was beyond impressive. It was such a pleasure to attend this event and we will definitely be at the next Apex event!
