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 61 Softball teams (34 COED & 27 Men's) in the spring and summer of 2011, and 28 Volleyball teams in the fall and winter of 2011-2012. In the Fall of 2012, we are actively seeking to develop a Church Dodgeball League.

The ICL is a non-profit organization over 45 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 Covenant, Baptist and Independent churches. As the ICL has no overhead, and is a Non-Profit organization, it charges churches 33-50% less than recreational activities sponsored by city, county and private leagues in the South Puget Sound area.

EXAMPLE: For 2011, one local municipal in the area charged $800 in team softball fees for 14 games. The ICL softball fee was $450 per team for a 10 game - 11 week season. That's quite a savings!

ICL 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.
