Welcome to APA Memphis

Get More From Your Local Pool League

More Players. More Divisions. Higher Payouts.
More Opportunities To Qualify For Nationals. 

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). Our local league is growing as well.
 
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 fourth of APA members are female. APA is a great way to "Have Fun, Meet People, & Play Pool!" 
 


Congratulation to Tina Hill and Elvin Thornton for winning their respected Tier levels in Nashville last weekend at the Singles Regionals. Tina and Elvin will be joining Saloma Simmons and Lewis Williams, in Las Vegas, in April to compete in the APA National Singles Tournament.

Join the APA

  • 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.
