Snooker & Billiards Ireland will be holding a final Training Weekend for our International Snooker & Billiard players playing in the 2025 Home Internationals on Saturday and Sunday the 26th / 27th July in the Academy in Carlow from 11am-4pm.

SBI Camps are held each year to allow our players train in a camp with our National Coach PJ Nolan who is also a WPBSA Coach and Head of Coaching in the European Billiards & Snooker Association.

On 26th of July, Mind Coach Evan Mcgrath from Serenity of Mind Sports will attend to support the players in a session to improve their mind set. CLICK MORE INFO

SBI National Coach will hold sessions on Break-Building, Safety, Long Potting and Technique checks. All the players will receive a training program booklet with practice drills plus a sports phycology booklet to help them work on their mind fitness.

Training Aids

The latest training aids will be used in the camps to enhance the sessions like the Mini Domin Eye, Master Doctor, Str8aim SA-1 & SA-2, Chris Henry Balls, Academy laser, EBSA Coaching Balls to help to get them on the line of aim and develop a smoother stroke in their delivery.
