Competitive Soccer (APEX)

At Stillwater Soccer Club, our APEX Competitive Program, starting at the U-11 level, represents our club’s commitment to advanced soccer play. In APEX, both players and coaches demonstrate a strong commitment to developing skills, maintaining fitness, practicing good work ethic, showing positive attitudes, and embodying sportsmanship.

In APEX, our philosophy is centered on nurturing player development, emphasizing growth and learning rather than solely focusing on immediate results. We advocate for a consistent and thorough approach to development, ensuring players are given the opportunity to improve steadily. Our emphasis is on the individual development of each player, which we see as key to the success of our teams.

The APEX program operates on an annual basis, running from August to May, with breaks in the winter (mid-December to late January) and summer (June and July). Teams participate in leagues that best challenge and develop their abilities, such as the OPC state league or OSA state league. Throughout the year, our APEX teams are involved in 4 to 6 tournaments.

The season typically culminates with the OPC State Cup in May, a competition that brings together various levels of teams to vie for the title of state champions.

Structure and Timeline

The APEX program caters to girls and boys born in 2014 and older.

Tryouts are conducted in May and placement is valid for the August – May period.  Check our registration page to sign up.

Practice sessions for APEX Teams are held twice a week.

The APEX teams participate in both OPC and OSA which are state leagues.   We anticipate 2 tournaments per season (2 in Fall and 2 in Spring) and have a minimum of 8 regular season games each season on the weekend.   We travel to other locations around the state, generally in the Tulsa and OKC metro areas.

APEX Teams often engage in an optional Winter Session at Soccer City OKC.
