About the Riverside APA

The Riverside APA is driven to create satisfied and loyal members, teams, and host locations, which recommend us to others.

We offer both amateur 8-Ball & 9-Ball Leagues, Ladies 8-Ball & 9-Ball Leagues all using the APA's Equalizer Handicap System where everyone has an equal chance to win.

Teams consist of 5-8 players. These teams compete in local divisions where the APA Host Locations are grouped geographically to minimize traveling distance. The year is divided into 3 sessions, with each session running between 13 and 17 weeks. Teams may play any day, Sunday through Saturday in most areas, so it's easy to fit the APA into your schedule.

The Local Riverside APA offers a Local Prize Fund. This includes a Tri-Cup tournament held at the conclusion of every session and the annual Riverside World Qualifier. Winning teams compete for the right to represent Riverside in Las Vegas at the APA World Pool Championships. We also offer patches and trophies to our members.
