Welcome
The WBSN National Women’s Snooker Academy has been created to provide a clear, structured and supportive pathway for women and girls to learn, develop and thrive in snooker.
Whether you are picking up a cue for the first time or looking to take your game to the next level, the academy offers a welcoming and professionally guided environment focused on skill development, confidence and opportunity.
Structured learning
The academy is delivered as a 4-month structured program, designed to progressively build skills, understanding and confidence.
Participants will take part in:
-
Fortnightly coaching sessions (approximately 10 sessions across the program)
-
Small group learning to ensure personalised attention
-
A structured development pathway based on the WPBSA “White to Black” program
Each session focuses on a key area of the game, including:
-
Fundamentals: stance, grip, alignment and cue action
-
Sighting and aiming techniques
-
Potting and positional play
-
Safety and tactical awareness
-
Break building and match play
Between Sessions
Development doesn’t stop when the session ends.
Participants are encouraged to complete:
-
At least 4 practice sessions between each coaching session
-
Structured training exercises aligned to each lesson
-
Personal progress tracking through an academy training diary
This approach ensures that learning is reinforced and confidence continues to build between sessions.
Equipment & Support
To remove barriers to entry:
-
Cue and equipment packs may be provided for participants to use throughout the program
-
Support and guidance will be available both during and between sessions
-
A strong, inclusive environment ensures all participants feel welcome regardless of experience level
Pathways & Opportunities
The academy is not just about learning the game — it is about creating opportunity.
Participants will be supported to progress into:
-
WBSN workshops and development programs
-
Local and state competitions
-
National-level events, including the WBSN $20,000 Snooker Tournament
Our Purpose
At its core, the academy reflects the values of the Women’s Billiards and Snooker Network Incorporated — fairness, inclusion and the belief that women deserve equal access to opportunity in cue sports.
