BRIEF HISTORY
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 almost year-round hosting 67 softball teams in the spring and summer of 2007 and 26 volleyball teams in the fall and winter of 2007.
The ICL is a non-profit organization over 40 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 and Independent churches. As the ICL has no overhead, and is not profit making, it charges churches 33-50% less than recreation sponsored by city, county and private leagues.
EXAMPLE: For 2007, one local county in the area is charging $575-$600 for team fees. ICL is charging $375 per team. About 35-40% in 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
