How to organize a billiard club at your school or college

The success of the Dan Harriman Cue Sports Academy has resulted in a lot of feedback.

Firstly, no one has to be a World Champion to organize and promote billiard competitions.

For many high schoolers or higher education students the primary purpose of a billiard
club is to develop discipline and learning habits.

If you want to start a billiard club it may have to be part of a greater social gaming club. Instead of just billiards see what interests people have in your area and plan three events. People that are interested in billiards have other interests.

Only make billiards one of them. The other two options should be different. Maybe bowling, ping pong or darts or esports.

Most newbies can't tolerate a lot of pool, in the beginning.

I know your acadummy is private with its specific information and I'd hope you could share some of the metrics that lead to your determination of success?

Having a group of students participate on a pool table game once a semester or once an academic year is a win.

Harriman Academy is not about stealing money for instruction and exercises. Its about empowering youth by executing organizational tasks and taking on leadership in their age group.

Its sad this thread never materialized before. Harriman Academy hopes to change that.

Its called social aiming. The clubs are encouraged to aim for one pool related activity in addition to two non-billiards activities.

These clubs will provide vital research for potential cross marketing events.

With the typical reputation of pool being a social gathering of drunks, junkies, gamblers and misfits it is exceedingly unlikely to be approved at the local school board. Frat house entertainment perhaps.

So, you might have got 1 game of pool going.
Wow.
Ground breaking.

Changing cultural perceptions of billiards take organization and transformation. Its likely there are parents that can play a role in starting social gaming groups at schools.

As a former youth I learned a lot about how to respect people by being in a billiard
club. Young people benefit from positive influences and well structured social activities.

Activism starts by discussion.
