About Us
In 1966, a local pastor saw the need in the community for organized church sponsored recreation. The Independent Church League (ICL) began playing basketball with only a handful of church teams.
It quickly expanded into softball and even tried a golf league in 1973. Today, the ICL has organized sports nearly year-round hosting 60 Softball teams (36 COED & 24 Men's) in the spring and summer of 2010 and 32 Volleyball teams in the fall and winter of 2009-2010.
The ICL is a non-profit organization over 44 years old. Its name is intended to bring churches within the community under its umbrella without fear of categorizing a single fellowship. The ICL Board for example is made up of volunteers from Seventh Day Adventist, Covenant, Baptist and Independent churches. As the ICL has no overhead, and is not profit making, it charges churches 33-50% less than recreation activities sponsored by city, county and private leagues in the South Puget Sound area.
EXAMPLE: For 2009, one local municipal in the area charges $750 in team fees for 10-12 games. The ICL fee is $425 per team this year for a 10 game - 11 week season. That's quite a savings!
COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS
In cooperation with South Sound Baseball League and Olympia Parks and Recreation, ICL has co-funded the construction of dugouts on LBA's fields 4 & 5. Photos
We should celebrate that, with God's blessing, we have enough surplus money to improve LBA for the entire community that use the park.
