  TAP league offers you a “chance” that you might make it to nationals, after you play and complete 3, 16week sessions.

Our season starts close to Labor Day, and runs 13 weeks to just before Thanksgiving. Play resumes in early January and runs 14 weeks, till the end of April.

At the end of each session, SPL puts on a slammer of a party for ALL of its members. At the midseason point, SPL hosts a sit-down dinner at one of the area’s premier catering facilities with almost 6 hours of open bar, big name entertainment like M-80, Daddy-O and the Sax Maniacs, Picture Perfect, Tommy Guns Band, just to name a few. We also give away thousands of dollars in merchandise for door prizes! During the summer break, we host a second party, the most fun you’ll ever have with your clothes on, our annual Clam Bake! This is an all day event, starts 9 in the morning, and runs all day till 7 at night. Start off with breakfast, eggs, bacon, ham, potatoes. For lunch, there is a whole roasted pig, a quarter steer on a BBQ pit, hot dogs, hamburgers, sausage, pork chops, cold and hot salads, as much as you can eat, and more then you’ll ever want. And beer, did I mention beer? We are sponsored by one of the largest brewers in the world, Coors! We end the day with a bag of clams, half a chicken, corn on the cob, and there’s always desert! Food and beer are just part of what happens at the Bake; here we also give out a few thousand dollars in cash and prizes. And have live music from some of the areas best bands like Old Friends, Invisible Swordsmen, and the house band from Mountain Sky. Sound like a great time? … You bet it is! But here’s the best part, it’s FREE! Free to ALL of our members! No matter where you finished, first place, or dead last, you WIN! Remember, very few of us are going to make it to the Pro Billiard tour, if any at all. So why not come out and join a league that puts it’s players first?
