Our league evolved out of players from four local taverns getting together for a summer tournament, to become the largest non-profit sports league in the State of Pennsylvania. Our league is made up of teams from 28 local sports bars, social clubs, pub & eateries, and good old fashioned neighborhood taverns. Scranton Pool League (SPL ) has been around since 1972. 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 mid-season 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!
