About Us The Village Pool League (VPL) is a not-for-profit 8-ball league in the Church-Wellesley neighbourhood, home to the gay and lesbian community of Toronto. The league consists of varying levels of participation with full, part-time, and "floating spare" players all totaling about 90 members. A volunteer operating committee that meets as required manages it. MEMBERSHIP IS OPEN OPEN TO ANYONE. We welcome players of all skill levels; although winning your game is an important objective, good sportsmanship and having some fun while doing it is an equally important focus of the league. Usually at the end of regular season play (September to April) the teams will be split into three divisions according to their ranking at that time. A final round of play against each team in the division will determine the division champion for the regular season. Then a playoff round will take place for one last chance to clinch the division title for the year. Prior to the start of the regular season, the league holds a welcoming tournament at Pegasus on Church Street. Another holiday party is held during the Christmas/New Year break. The year is capped off with a final banquet where trophies are awarded and people have an opportunity to share some memories over a good meal. As well, the banquet provides an opportunity for us to raise some money for a local charity. If this sounds like fun to you, check out our membership page and contact us for further information.
