About APX Performance Lab www.apxperformancelab.com

APX Performance Lab is a Melbourne-based athletic development company built specifically for footballers (soccer). We train youth players in speed, agility, strength and change of direction, using a clear methodology built on force transfer, anti-rotation and unilateral strength.

Our coaches have played and coached at NPL, VPL, professional and US college level. Our brand and audience bring in the athletes. We’re now looking for more coaches to work with them.
