In the APA, Everyone Can Play - Anyone Can Win!
Talk to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers and you will see that they either play in the APA, or know someone who does. People from all different backgrounds and walks of life play in the APA Pool League. In addition, over one quarter of APA members are female. APA is a great way to "Have Fun, Meet People, & Play Pool!"
The APA is the World's Largest Amateur Pool League with more members than all other amateur leagues combined. Nationally, the APA currently boasts over 260,000 members (and growing).
For those of you that might be thinking, "I'm not good enough to play," consider this.......75% of APA members are beginner to intermediate players, meaning you don't have to be a pool shark to play. The only thing you really need, is the desire to have fun! With APA's Equalizer® Handicap System, everyone has an equal chance of winning.
Join the APA!
While some membership cards require you to be able to jump the cue ball, bank it off three rails and sink the 8-Ball blindfolded, getting an APA Membership Card is much easier.
Having fun, meeting new people and playing pool is what the APA is all about.. You don't have to be a pool shark, because in the APA -- everyone can play and anyone can win. The APA wants beginners and novices, because it is the AMATEUR Poolplayers Association. No other organization in pool gives ordinary players a chance to win a share of nearly $1.5 MILLION guaranteed cash and prizes paid out through its national tournaments.
How does the APA do it? It uses The Equalizer® handicap system to determine the amount of games a player has to win in order to capture the match. It allows a novice to win less games than a more-skilled opponent to win a match.
