about us
Passion for Pool, Excellence in Gaming
The concept of our organization was on the drawing board as early as 1989, with the hopes of being the best. We are achieving our goals every day, and are now proudly serving tens of thousands of members every week, throughout the United States and Canada.
Some say we are the “Players League”, some say we are the “Rolls Royce League”. I say we are the league of sportsmanship, the league for the present and future generations. Not the biggest, but the best. The league with a vision for you “The Player”!
