Offer your business employees a recreational activity that allows anyone to play!
Over 43 million people play pool each year – and your employees are probably among them! The APA utilizes the Equalizer handicapping system that allows fair competition everyone can enjoy regardless of age, physical limitations, or athletic ability.
No Administration
APA Leagues offers the great benefit of no added paperwork! The local APA League Operator in your area will do all scheduling, maintaining records, handicaps, and purchasing awards at no cost to your company. The League Operator communicates directly w/ Team Captains not the business owner/manager regarding any League related issues.
Low Cost
APA members pay an annual membership fee of $25 plus a low per week League fee. You’ll find that other sports charge the same, if not more, for one session of play. Plus, teams do not have to invest in uniforms or equipment in order to play.
Safe
Pool is also safe. Poolplayers are seldom injured during play, so productivity in the workplace will not suffer due to injuries.
Year-Round Fun
The American Poolplayers Association offers three sessions per year: Summer, Fall & Spring. Your employees can participate in one session or all three for one low membership fee. The League Operator will maintain direct contact with Team Captains and go from session to session with no assistance needed from the business owner/manager other than to post fliers or emails regarding sign-up.
Weatherproof
Your employees can play anytime, regardless of rain, snow, or heat!
The Richest Championships
The APA offers a $600,000 8-Ball World Pool Championship, a $200,000 9-Ball World Pool Championship, a $100,000 9-Ball Shootout, & a $300,000 8-Ball Classic Singles Championship. Your employees can qualify by playing weekly on an active team.
