How to book a Lesson

My Champions Academy uses state of the art technology by recording the lesson and the players receive a DVD to bring home and study.

The players also receive a specific Snooker or Pool training program to suit their standard.

If you would like to book a private lesson, arrange a group coaching lesson in your club or you need more information on how to book a snooker or pool lesson.

My Champions Method

I have been very lucky to have worked with some fantastic snooker players. I have learnt that every snooker player has their own individual style of play and no two players are alike.

Every Snooker Coach around the world has their own ideas on how to coach and play the game. I believe there is not one set way and almost everything can be adjusted to suit the player.
