All Players Paddle League Set to Begin January 7th, 2008

A new women's league has been established to provide greater playing opportunities to paddle players in Northern Connecticut and Western Massachusetts. The All Players Paddle League (APPL) is unique to this area in that it allows players from different clubs to play together, it offers an evening league as well as daytime and each individual team has the ability to move up in level if they win their regular flight and challenge matches.

The format has been extremely successful downstate in the Greater Boston arean and New Canaan, CT where they have a townwide league with close to 200 teams.

The goal is to give paddle players as many playing choices as possible and if successful, the league will expand and add more flights and hopefully, a Men's League in 2008-2009.

Anyone interested needs to contact Sheri Shea at paddlemaven@sbcglobal.net.

Sign up ends Sunday, December 30 and play begins the week of January 7th.
