Adam Acton

I am ACL Pro Adam Acton from the SouthWest Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL.

Started playing cornhole eight years ago when I got moved to Indiana. Met my wife and had a child then moved back to Oklahoma. Cornhole was minimal and I enjoyed played so I started Oklahoma cornhole and sold it 4 years ago to focus on being just a player.

Chris Cuccia

I am ACL Pro Chris Cuccia from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. Jimmy Buffet tailgate 13 years ago. From the first bag I was hooked! My wife and I played together and got whooped all day. They were spinning the bag!!! We bought a set the next day and found our first tournament that weekend. I pulled one of the best players aside and got a lesson and watched most of the day. Haven't stopped playing since.

I started playing like 14 years ago in my back yard with my dad. Me and him played in local tournaments for a long time until he quit playing. About 3 years ago I wanted to play competitively and travel some. So I did and I was hooked ever since.

Robert Sperry

I am ACL Pro Robert Sperry from the NorthEast Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro.

There are many words to describe Robert Sperry, but the best suited are tenacious, passionate, and experienced. At 51, “Bobby” as most know him by, is not only a father and step-father to seven children, he is a grandfather to 12 grandchildren as well. By day he is a plumbing estimator while at night he fluctuates between being a cornhole clinic instructor, woodworker, huntsman and fisherman, as well as a devoted family man. And that doesn’t also account for other cornhole leagues and tournaments he attends regularly as well. With most of his family still living in Virginia where he grew up, Bobby always makes time for them and visiting them every holiday and free weekend he can. Bobby is always moving, creating, and leading forward. He never gives up on the things he loves, and always finds the time to be there when others rely on him.
Bobby aspires to continue to hone and craft his cornhole skills in hopes to become a top player in the country and from there, turning his passion and tenacity for the sport into a full-time career. He has already made a name for himself, winning multiple tournaments in the United States as well as Canada which led him to gaining a Canadian bag sponsorship. Bobby’s love of the sport reaches beyond just playing, into an enjoyment for the comradery between players as well gaining more knowledge about how to be a better player as well as teammate. He is always looking for ways to exude his excellence as well as be a top leader in the sport. Two things he has proven time and time again that he can execute extremely well.
Robert Sperry is driven by passion and dedication, to not only the sport of cornhole but to everything he sets his heart and mind upon. And time again he has proven his leadership skills and abilities to guide the next generation of players to come. This drive will bring him to the top of the player roster before we know it, so keep an eye on him moving forward.
