Hello everyone-
We have just recently started a Jr program here and I was wondering what is the order in which people think we should instruct new players? Is it most important to work on grip and bridge or grip and stance or straightness of stroke? A lot of kids have so many different flaws but what do you think is the list of importance to address first?
Remember these kids are ages 6 to 17. We started out the first week with 5 kids, 2nd week was 6 or 7 kids and now into the 3rd week we have almost 15 kids showing up. We do an hour of instruction and then an hour of play. Instruction has consisted of our higher quality players each going to a table and assisting the kids with instruction and guidance in various skills.
Nobody is a certified billiard instructor even though most are good enough players to be certified based on their skill levels. Thanks for any assistance that may be offered. My goal with this program is to get a Jr program strong enough to be part of the BEF and be able to participate in the bigger national events. We are based out of southern NH.
Thanks
Chris
