Pool opened up to young people at The Academy
Young people of all skills levels and who are interested in the sport of pool are being invited to a special open day at The Academy in Basingstoke on Bank Holiday Monday, 9th April from 2pm – 6pm.
For those who have little or no experience of the game, enjoyed nationally by around 9 million people of all ages every week, there will be some introductory lessons.
Where the youngsters have some skills and would like some coaching, there is a Youth Pool Master Class with former World Champion and England player, Michael Piper, and the current World Ladies Blackball Champion, Amanda Watson. Michael was recently awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by the Mayor Basingstoke & Deane for his contribution to sport in the Borough in recognition of his coaching of the sport locally.
At the end of the afternoon, there will be a knockout tournament with the winners and runners-up being awarded cups by Rob Hall, current County under-18’s captain and former County under-18’s champion. Rob, a member of staff at The Academy, is attending to scout for new County players so there is a chance for Basingstoke youngsters to progress further in the sport.
The sessions are for 9 – 16 year olds and are free of charge but places must be pre-booked by calling into the Worting Road pool & snooker hall, sports bar, restaurant and live music venue in person prior to the day. It is first-come first-served.
Full details of this and forthcoming sports and live-music events, and on-line ticket sales, are available on The Academy website (http://www.academyclubs.com/) or by telephoning Andrea Hicks, Deputy General Manager of the venue on 01256 327273.
