The Valley National 8-Ball League Association is an Association of 200+ Coin Machine Operators, 22 Supplier/Manufacturers, and nearly 100,000 Sanctioned Pool Players who work together to provide increased interest in the game of pool.
The Mission of the Association is to encourage Charter Holders and Pool Players to form leagues and play in weekly competition on pool tables owned by the operator members along with year-end State, Provincial, Regional and World Championships.
The Association’s Goals and Objectives include greater volume and increased profit for the operators and the locations in which they serve, more fun for the players, and a more stable industry for both the manufacturer/suppliers and operators.
The VNEA is proud to have spread its membership to nearly every American state. Also, with Charter Holders in 6 Canadian Provinces, the VNEA is hopeful of gaining additional interest from our neighbors to the north. Along with the U.S. and Canada, the VNEA has representation in Australia, Bahamas, Bermuda, Finland, New Zealand, Portugal and Spain. With its eyes on international affiliation, the association will undoubtedly bring other potential countries into the VNEA family.
