The Northern Alberta Region started local league play in 1994.

We offer both 8-Ball & 9 Ball open divisions using the CPA Equalizer Handicap System where everybody has a chance to win.

 

Teams consist of 5-8 players with a low weekly fee per team plus an annual membership fee.Teams compete in local divisions where host locations are grouped geographically to minimize traveling distance. The year is divided into 3 sessions with each session running between 12 and 18 weeks which culminate with a Wildcard playoff followed by a Tri- Annual tournament where teams can qualify for the Regional Las Vegas Tournament.

In addition we also offer player achievment awards and trophies to our members

History Of The APA

The American Poolplayers Association was founded in 1979 by professional poolplayers Terry Bell and Larry Hubbart (pictured left). The two men realized the popularity of the sport and knew that, unlike other sports, there was no existing recreational league system. Back then the league was called the National Pool League. The name was changed to American Poolplayers Association (APA) in 1981.

Over the years, the APA Pool League has gone by many names, including The American Pool League, Busch Pool League, and Bud Light Pool League. Terry Bell and Larry Hubbart maintain positions on the APA's Board of Directors, and strive to create continued interest and growth in the sport of pool.



Renee Lyle, (pictured right), has held the position of APA President since April of 1995. As President, she has total responsibility for overseeing the daily operations and future growth of the League. She was appointed to her position by former APA President Terry Bell, when he stepped down to assume a position on the Board Of Directors.
