What Players Say
Hear from our league champions
"I've played in every other league since 1980. APA, VNEA, BCA, ACS, etc.
Playing 8-ball in the Ultimate Pool League in San Antonio, Tx is BY FAR the most fun I've ever had playing in a pool league!"
"Joining UPL San Antonio has been a blast! The match-clock and shot-clock keep the games interesting, and provides players of all skill levels a chance to show off their 8-ball game. Looking forward to competing at Nationals in November! "
"The league makes me find a competitive rhythm quickly, and I am always suprised how many racks can be played within the 30 minute time frame."
