Mikko, you beat me to it..
I was just curious. How long has your son (Manny) been playing? What state do you guys play out of? And last, will you guys be attending the Super Billiards Expo in Valley Forge this year?
My son Manny has been playing for 1yr 5 months now, He started in Oct. 2009. We play out of shooters in Olathe Kansas.
We would love to attend the super billiards expo, but unfortunately We do not have any sponsors to cover the cost .
We ourselves at this time are gearing up for the junior event again this year.
And cannot afford to attend. I think it is a shame that I won`t be able to get him there, So he can witness an event like that and to help promote junior pool and pool in general
Thanks for your interest if ever your out this way look us up.:smile:
Sincerly

Mary Rakin of the USA was World Junior Champion in 2006 and 2007.
Hector. I dont know which speed your son plays, but its a shame that there is no federation in US wich is able to give some kind of support to the top 3-5 juniors and bring them to at least a couple of big tournaments a year.
Most european federations, even if they dont have that much money, give the juniors high priority and sponsor them at least to the European Championship each year. Hopefully something similar can happen in US also in the future
