How the APPA came to be

How we got from the APPF to the new APPA.

American pool in Australia is a growing market. After running many successful tournaments for all levels of play over the past 5 years I was personally approached in late 2019 by the current President of the Australian Pool Players Federation to discuss the future of the APPF.

The current organisation had various challenges with only a small number of people who could dedicate the time to govern and improve the sport at a national level.

I was asked to assemble a team that would be able to modernise the brand, events, provide national governance, produce appropriate documentation and policies with a view to Sports Australia recognition.

It has been an absolute mammoth task with countless hours of working on weekends, late nights, Thursday evening team meetings. I would like to personally acknowledge the APPA team for their personal efforts and ask that all the players to join their new association with a view to an exciting and transparent future with great opportunities for our cue sport community.

APPA, Mission Statement

"Our primary goal is to grow the sport of American Pool in Australia and to achieve recognition from Sports Australia working towards an Australian Cue Sports Confederation."

 

In the spirit of reconciliation the Australian Pool Players Association acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
