  2. Get Inspired - How to get into snooker

    Get Inspired
    #GetInspired

    Snooker, billiards and pool all offer different challenges, but from pubs to clubs to competition, they offer an accessible option for anyone hoping to pick up a cue.

    It shouldn't be hard to find somewhere to hone your skills. What's more, an official snooker club finder was launched in 2018 to help you find the perfect place to play.

    Whether you choose to play competitively or socially, snooker is sure to get your brain working.

    It requires skill and concentration and will improve your focus and hand-eye coordination. Anyone can play regardless of age, gender or ability and it's not an expensive sport to get into.

    Snooker is essentially a simple sport, once the rules of the game have been learnt - to do just that click here.

    And a great way to start taking part in snooker is through a local snooker club.

    English Partnership for Snooker and Billiards provides a club finder to locate your local snooker venue.

    To find a club in other areas of the UK please contact the national snooker federations of Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

    Disability Snooker

    World Disability Billiards and Snooker (WDBS) is an organisation that was formed to open up opportunities for players of all disabilities: physical, intellectual and sensory.

    WDBS operates as a subsidiary of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) and has held several events in the UK - for more information click here.

    Also, the British Wheelchair Pool Players Association (BWPPA) organises domestic events for wheelchair players, and their players attend international tournaments where they compete alongside able-bodied players. Find out more here.

    Junior Cue Sports

    Many clubs offer junior sections with sessions in the evening or at the weekend. There are also junior leagues and competitions you can get involved in. In England, junior players can get in touch with their local affiliated club.
