Why Apex hits different
Built for people
who've never played.
Everyone here is new.
Nobody's smashing balls at your face. No rec-league regulars judging your serve. Beginner-only groups are the entire point.
No fee ambush.
Some places charge a guest fee, a paddle fee, and a vibe fee before you've hit a ball. Here it's $25. Paddle included. Ball included. Done.
Four people. One coach.
You'll actually touch the ball every drill — this isn't gym class with 30 kids and one whistle.
Friends are the feature.
Bring-a-buddy credits, sibling discounts, and every graduating cohort throws a round robin where each player brings one friend free.
Programs
Pick your way in.
Every group is beginners-only. Every price includes the paddle. Ordered by commitment level — start wherever feels right.
Pricing
One price. Everything included. We mean it.
No guest fee. No paddle rental. No membership. No “court improvement surcharge.” The price on this page is the price you pay.
| Offer | Price | What that gets you |
|---|---|---|
| Youth 6-week series | $150 | $25/session — all gear, all six weeks |
| All-Inclusive Youth 6-week series | $150 | $25/session — mixed ages 7–17, one small group, all gear included |
| Adult 6-week series | TBA | Launching in a later phase — join the waitlist to be notified. |
| Drop-in (60 min) | $20 | Try before you commit. Paddle in hand the moment you walk up. |
| Sibling discount | 20% off | Second kid plays for less. Families are the whole point. |
| Bring-a-buddy credit | $25 | Refer a friend who enrolls, get $25 off your next series. Stackable. |
| Scholarship seats | Free | Two free seats in every cohort — just ask. Cost should never be the reason a kid doesn't play. |
The no-surprises promise
If we ever have to charge more, we'll tell you before you book — right on the price, not in the fine print.
Schedule
When we play.
Every session, every make-up date, every free event — live spots on every pill. Tap a session for details.
Founder mode (login only)
Add, cancel, or merge sessions — every change writes straight to the booking tool, so this calendar never diverges from what families see.
The Vibe
It's a sport. It's also a group chat with paddles.
Every cohort graduates together, plays a round robin together, and comes back together. We measure success in players made, not dollars collected — that's literally in our business plan.
Graduation round robins
Every cohort ends with games, music, and a plus-one rule: each player brings one friend free. Your friend group grows the roster.
Family game nights
Parent vs. kid brackets. Loser does dishes. We just host it.
Your next court
When you outgrow us — and that's the goal — we'll point you to open play at the local clubs. We're the on-ramp, not the toll booth.
My daughter went from zero to running rallies in six weeks — and I'm already counting down to the adult sessions launching. Best $150 of the fall.
Founding-clinic parent, Syossetok so i thought it would be cringe but it's actually fun and nobody's weird about you being bad. coach is chill. bringing two friends to the round robin.

The part you actually want to read.

Our story
We started Apex because of a weird gap.
Syosset has some of the best pickleball courts on Long Island — three dedicated clubs within two miles. But almost all of it is built for adults who already play. If you're 10 years old, or 40 and never held a paddle, there was no obvious front door to the sport.
So we built one.
The partnership
A certified coach runs every session on court; the founder runs everything off court — so the coaching is always professional and the experience is always personal.
Our three-year scoreboard isn't revenue. It's how many people in this town play pickleball because of us.
