It has been almost two months since Pool Awareness Week 2014 was announced. It has created a certain amount of interest and has gained support from
Mark Wilson and his Mosconi Cup Squad of players. Last week he also enlisted the help of Jeanette Lee at the BCA Summit in Louisville.
Brandon Shuff, Jeremy Sossei, Oscar Dominguez, Justin Bergman, Justin Hall, Corey Deuel and Jon Schmidt have all ben involved both at
Louisville and at The Navy Seals base in San Diego. Plenty of people have ‘Liked’ our Facebook Page.
PAW is scheduled for 2nd to 9th November.
It is what is says it is – a week making people more aware of our game and get them playing pool. The way that we do this is…….
FIND SOMEBODY WHO HAS NEVER PLAYED THE GAME BEFORE. THEN INVITE THEM TO JOIN YOU NEXT TIME YOU GO TO PLAY.
That’s it!!
Show them how to play the game of your choice, teach them the basic rules. Let them use a house cue but after a few shots let them hold your cue.
They should feel empowered now. If they like the feel then let them play a few shots with it. They should be hooked by now and feeling the
joy of pocketing balls.
A couple of weeks down the line get your player to find his own ‘Pool Virgin’ and you can find another one of your own. So instead of having one
Player you now have four players. In a couple of months you could have created fifteen or so new players.
The purpose of PAW is not to run events, create coaching clinics or other promotional activities. .But we want to encourage pool enthusiasts to
do these things. PAW will give you a chance to do this by publicising what you are doing before the event then supporting you during your project
and afterwards. We are looking for original ideas from you which you feel can generate interest in the game.
We can help you with poster, tournament documentation which you can adapt for your own purposes. We can give you contact info on players,
promoters, coaches, suppliers, sponsors, billiard rooms and 101 other things. If you feel that you have the skills to handle a pool publicity event
then tell us about them. If we can help you we will or we will find someone who can. POOL AWARENESS WEEK is in November but we can
start things now which we can highlight during that time.
You can find out more by going to the POOL AWARENESS WEEK 2014 FACEBOOK PAGES . There are currently two versions but these are
due to be merged when we collect and remove statistics from them
