All Lessons

If you are a new student, we can arrange to meet at a public location for the initial introduction. Let's face it, no one likes meeting a stranger off the internet in the stranger's home. Boondocks is the preferred meeting place since their pool table is always free and they have a great staff and food.

There is no cost for the initial meeting. This is just an opportunity to get to know each other, discuss your goals, set expectations and decide if this is something you would like to proceed with.

All lessons include the following:

• Practice Guide
• Video Analysis of Fundamentals
• Custom objectives to work on before your next lesson

Cost

Youth lessons are $10 per hour. We can teach two kids at a time. If you have two kids, it will be $15 per hour.

Adult lessons are $20 per hour.

How Many Lessons are needed?

The number of lessons you will need varies a lot. The number one factor is how much time you are willing to commit. Pool is a sport which requires a LOT of practice.

You should plan on practicing on your own at least 3 hours a week. This does not include the lessons at JC Billiards.

Some people also possess an innate, natural ability to play the game. This can greatly effect the speed at which you learn.
