Strap on your ski or board, there is cash prizes on the dock! Waterskiers, Wakeboarders, Professionals and Challengers, there is a new place to compete across the United States this summer. The INT League has introducing professional Wakerski and Wakeboard divisions. They will offer divisions in Waterskiing and Wakeboarding for both men and women.
At each local event the INT League will offer pro division winners a cash purse made up of 75% of entry fees collected from the pro divisions.
All scores from the pro divisions at every INT event nation wide will be posted on the INT League website. At the end of the season the top 12 riders and skiers nationally in each pro division will be invited to ski or ride in INT Championships, in October. It is anticipated that the total cash purse will be $10,000 to $20,000.
The cash is up for grabs, and the best of the best will be competing for it all at INT events. The INT League is very excited to see who will be skiing and riding for the big purse at the INT U.S Championships.

The INT League, known as the "Little League of Watersports," was started in 1993. Most of us grew up enjoying and / or participating in some sort of "Little League" sport. Sports are growing and expanding every year based on the little league concept.
The INT League is an exciting league for wakeboarding, waterskiing, kneeboarding and wakeskating. We are turning these recreational activities into a SPORT! The INT League was started in Washington state with four events and has expanded into 27 states hosting over 250 events days per year. The first US Championships was hosted in Austin, Texas in 1998 with 330 competitors in 27 divisions. These competitors had one thing in mind - to be crowned the INT League champion. Our future plans include expanding events to all 50 states and international countries while continuing to host the INT Championships.
Rick Stocks, founder of the INT League, first started hosting amateur events on Greenlake in Seattle, Washington, in the early 1980's with the Lake Sammamish Water Ski Club. As President of the Club, he found that even though the club hosted AWSA sanctioned "C" events, most of the members did not compete in the events themselves. This was due to the fact that the caliber of competition was intimidating. No one wants to always lose. Rick's idea was to make the competition fun and based on ability levels so that all members and their families could compete and where new people could be introduced to the sport of waterskiing. Greenlake, in the middle of Seattle, was the perfect place. The Lake Sammamish Water Ski Club is still hosting events on Greenlake with the INT League and with a limit of 150 competitors, the word is out - "preregister or you won't get in."
Since those early days, we have done our best to keep up with the watersports industry by adding wakeboard slalom when the board first appeared on the market, later adding wakeboard freestyle and now wake skating. The INT League was the first to add competition for the wide and parabolic skis. INT's goal is to adapt to the changing needs of the industry and host events that are fun for everyone, all ages and abilities.
To promote, organize and execute a consistent grass roots program hosting water sports events on a national spectrum. Individuals can enjoy the fun and challenges of competition in a non-intimidating environment like the “Little League” which has been loved by many for years.
These events are designed to encourage men, women and children of all ages to challenge their abilities at non-intimidating, fun events. We are committed to attracting water sports enthusiasts and to giving families and friends the opportunity to spend quality time together at a professionally run event.
