About Pokemon Leagues

Become a League Member!
Pokémon Leagues are a great way for players of all ages to make friends with others who share the same interest in Pokémon. At league, players get together to learn and practice playing Pokémon!
Even if you don't know the rules of the game, at league, you'll learn all the basics, and eventually, develop your own style and strategy, and become a Pokémon Master in no time.
League is the perfect place for new players to start! League Leaders and other experienced league members are usually able to spend time teaching new players.
League members are rewarded for playing games. They earn points for each game they play -- whether they win or lose. Play more, earn more points! Earn points to earn prizes! Prizes include exclusive league items. There are new prizes to earn every six weeks!
Pokémon Leagues are held in safe, public locations, and are open to all ages.
NOTE: All leagues are different. They are run by individual League Leaders. Pokémon Leagues are open to people of all ages, but there are some leagues with plenty of children and parents, and others that are mostly college-aged. Most are combinations. If you are looking for a specific group to attend league with, we might be able to offer you some direction. Contact us.
