Your initial coaching session will last approximately two hours, where we take the time to get to know more about each other, determine your goals and undertake a detailed analysis of how you approach and play shots.  From there, should you wish, we can work together to develop a structured plan to address areas requiring more focus.

Subsequent coaching sessions typically last about one hour.

The total fee for the initial snooker coaching session (approx. 2hrs)  is $135.  

The total fee for each subsequent snooker coaching session (1hr) is $60.

In the event that your coaching session runs longer than anticipated, there is NO additional charge.

The snooker coaching fee covers the cost of the coaching session AND the table time.  There is absolutely no additional cost for your coaching session beyond the coaching fee.

Should you wish to continue using the snooker table after our coaching session ends, you would be required to pay the snooker club for that table time.

Growing up in England & Scotland, I watched my first professional snooker match on live television when I was 8 years old (on a black & white television!) and played my first ever frame of snooker about a year later.

Over the past few years I've been fortunate to watch more than two dozen professional snooker matches live, in-person in England, where I have chatted with a number of World Snooker Tour players and referees.

More recently, at the 2024 British Open, I was thrilled to be in the crowd to watch Judd Trump make his 1,000th century.
