A Snooker Enrichment Session can be delivered, using a professional syllabus, by introducing the white to black snooker training programme which is part of the WPBSA’s remit to inspire & increase participation in Snooker across all levels/ages. The initiative helps the sport to be played in schools across the country. Schools can then develop their own Cue Zones, running group activities, competitions, demonstrating the basic elements of the game using the WPBSA blueprint. There’s lots of Maths in Snooker too!
