Benefits of the Atlanta Pétanque League (APL) membership

The APL will market and promote, with the support of its sponsors and members, APL member clubs. All ages and skill levels can join for the fun of the game – to meet others, and to enjoy the sport and compete.

The APL will promote the growth of the sport, via inter-club league practices, games, competitions, tournaments, and social events.

The APL will promote the culture and origins of pétanque, its reputation, member skills, all-inclusive conduct, sportsmanship and behavior.

The APL will always encourage free instruction, while also offering fee-based coaching clinics that are not included in their membership.

The APL creates opportunities for a community to connect, have fun, discover Pétanque, help expand the presence of the game in Atlanta and help team members prepare to compete in Atlanta area tournaments and the annual November Pétanque Amelia Island Open.

Your APL membership includes a membership card of the Federation of Pétanque, USA. To process this FPUSA membership, members must submit name, address, phone number, email a headshot (without hat or glasses) and a signed waiver. The FPUSA will provide an accident waiver and release of liability to protect participants and club office bearers against claims from club events. Pétanque is not viewed as a dangerous sport, but accidents can happen.
