How to become a coach ?

[warren132]

Very interested in becoming a coach..but not sure how i would go about it.Any help with this would be fantastic..There was a guy at the club i used to go to but he has since passed away about 5 months ago..i think there is some demand for a coach where i live and play. like i said not sure how to go about it..so thanks for any info i can get.

I would recommend the World Snooker course run by Del Hill.

See www.worldsnooker.com/coaching_courses for contact details.

warren, after you get yourself as a certified coach, why not you come to Kuching town in Borneo Island and make a living here by coaching snooker?

Me and other players here are dying to get one...

Thanks.

warren:

You can also get certified as an IBSA coach or master coach by Nic Barrow, who is in Milton Keynes and provides excellent training. Details can be found at thesnookergym.com.

You can also get certified as a TerryGriffithsMatchroom coach or senior coach but would have to travel to Llanelli, Wales for 4 or 5 days. Contact Wayne Griffiths and the terrygriffithsmatchroom website.

Now if you want to come to Canada, I can certify you as an IBSF coach or master coach at my facility here in Ontario.

I wouldn't recommend the WSA coaching certification as they only book a class once they have 5 applications, better to go directly to Del at thesnookerfarm I believe.
