Something For Amereican Pool To Imitate?

Wow, that is awesome! Gymnastics has these kinds of training facilities all over. I wonder how much this academy costs?

"For overseas players we provide the whole package, from picking them up at the airport, bringing them to Sheffield, accommodating them, and giving them coaching and practice facilities. They get looked after."

Since opening in September 2006, the academy has established links with schools and colleges in South Yorkshire, with the aim of sparking interest in snooker among the teenagers of today.

"The idea is for players of any age or standard, from school kids to beginners, to come here, have coaching, or just practice in these conditions," Warren said.

"In the holidays we will run summer schools, not just for locals, but for kids from all over Europe. We're getting a lot of interest.

"This spring, we are also launching the Paul Hunter scholarship, which will give one elite junior the chance to spend a year at the academy, and will include things such as media training, nutritional advice and sports psychology."​
