The American Poolplayers Association (APA) was introduced into the Birmingham area in 1990. Before coming international, the APA was first known as the Bud Light League and then the Busch League due to the relationship that was built with it's national sponsors at that time. Starting with only a hand full of teams and limited nights of play, the APA developed interest quickly and started to grow. The local pool players in our area quickly realized that there was now an organized billiard league with a handicap system that allowed players to compete no matter their level of skill. At the beginning, only the game of 8-Ball was played but 9-Ball quickly followed along with other formats designed for multi levels of participation such as Scotch Doubles, Double Jeopardy, Masters Divisions, Single Qualifiers and more.

 

Over the years, there has been various League Operators who helped to develop the Birmingham APA League. In May 2022, MICHAEL & AMBER GLASS purchased the league from previous League Operators, SKIP & JOYCE LASSITER.MICHAEL has played in this local league since it began in 1994 and AMBER started playing in 2012. Since it's introduction in 1990, the Birmingham APA family has grown to over 500 local teams who enjoy shooting pool. There is even league play every night of the week so you can choose which night, or nights, best fits your schedule. Come join the fun!
