Sports partnerships with public community spaces are on the rise.

Pool is a great sport, you carry the cues, the balls and the chalk.

However airports, train stations, schools and assembly organizations need to be empowered by local support at the grassroots level.

Someone has to approach the people at the places and say, let's try a public pool table program.

The benefits of a pool table is it provides intimacy at an optimal square footage cost. Most people quit the pool table in less than an hour because its not comfortable.

I've tried at a few institutions and organizations. Everyone says it starts at grassroots level movement first.
 
Would a business model where you sell the local pro as a guest player for the day be worth trying? I am thinking this for my college club.

I need rent a pro for a wide variety of sports. They just have to review film online and do the culture shock with them.

Too many HS coaches are not meeting standards. It doesn't get better if a public college program goes big. Bad teaching does not mean more graduates. Bad teaching more students mean more useless credits without degree completion. They can always transfer.

Sell table to school or church or senior center, then say lets have the pro do a demo every year.
The pro brings all the latest stuff, they give it to grand kids and that is a statistical test.

Let the kids talk about the sport, then let them find their way to the pro room and pee their pants.

Let the pool halls manage the pros.

Build the amateur game with youth promotions, this way the local pros can feel famous to more than mom and dad.

Thanks for the help everyone.
