I have started a petition to put billiards in schools as an elective and varsity sport.
Please read, sign and pass on.
Also please share any pool experiences good or bad.

Thank you, Jerry

Used to teach a course in pool at a junior college that we did at a local bowling alley. You would have to have a place to do it. Seeing that most pool rooms serve alcohol I doubt that would work out.
 
Yes in the beginning it will take some coordination. I am also looking into non profit status to build pool specific locations in general areas. I'm hoping the reward for the juniors will prevail
 
Good luck.
Hope you get somewhere.
Not being negative, just been down that road with a H. S. in my town with my two girls in my school district.
Only way I think it can be done is come in thru the back door.
Your dealing with Prejudice, not intention but those parents/teachers in their lifes Visual journey have seen/Scenes that don't Jive with HS teacher, faculty thinking in any larger numbers.
You have to create a path thru the back doors in life. often to Succeed.
Good luck, I feel this path is not different than Black/White and MLK.
But times can be different.... you have a hell of allot of work ahead of you.... to Preach your cause to adults then succeed.

best to your EFFORTS.... your intentions are on track.
 
my opinion will not be popular
to have a pool course as an elective is just OK for me
to have it as a varsity sport would be a terrible idea
the time spent practicing would be better spent studying
whats a degree in pool going to get you in the USA
might as well major in philosophy or art history
i understand you are not making pool a degree option
but my point is
the students are better off long term to put their efforts into more productive things
jmho
icbw
for the record i love pool but it was not my career choice
 
And in most towns, if your not of legal age in a pool room you must leave by a certain time. Smart.
 
It looks like a form letter not a petition.

Who is the undesignated letter directed to? Are you suggesting if someone "signs" this you are just going to mass mail it to unidentified schools across the country? Or where are you sending it, specifically?

How is "nonprofit status" going to facilitate anything and what do you mean by that?

Not seeing the plan here that would have anyone "sign" it without asking questions other than just a "Go Pool!" point of view.
