ATTENTION POOL ROOM OWNERS!

I am trying to do something in the Phoenix area growing statewide and even nationwide to generate more business for the pool rooms and grow the game. If you really want pool to get a breath of fresh air and some new blood you need to get the youth just like sports such as football, baseball, basketball and so on do with youth programs who grow up to support those sports for life. Pool room owners need to implement a youth program in each and every room nationwide with free pool on Saturdays and Sundays from say noon to 6 for everyone under the age of 18 to get them in there playing.

These kids will buy cues, cases, food, drink, snacks and grow up with your business. On weekdays if they come in during the evenings which they will be itching to do they can pay regular rates or maybe a special rate if that is what you are inclined to do. During the days on the weekends most rooms aren't super busy and empty tables aren't making money. Poolrooms die out with the customers who are aging and dying off. I believe this program could generate new players nationwide.

I am asking room owners to give up some tables on Saturday and Sunday and be added to a list that I hope to grow so kids know they can go to these places to play for free during noon to 6pm. Put up flyers in your room and announce it daily so people know so you can grow your business. Would you be a part of a billiard youth program which will help grow your business and the game of billiards?

Great idea,all rooms should clean it up and start promoting youth programs once per week. Get the kids involved and off their computers , text , video games and back to Billiards. Perfect way to grow the sport. When I had my room I had a boy scout group in for a Billiard outing and it went over great,plus the parents all had a great time and came back in themselves to enjoy our establishment. The kids were over excited about the event and were awarded achievement pins for their involvement.
 
I have been a proponent of this approach for years. I would add 1 addition and that is to offer free basic instruction so that the young ones have a better chance of seeing improvement in their games.

I use to go to a room that was a short distance from both a middle school and a high school that were very affluent. A few of the kids came in after school and they had cash to spend however, neither of the owners wanted to make an effort to stimulate future business. Very short sighted and the well known room is currently struggling.

Good luck with this concept!
