Minnesota Fats Junior Academy, this weekend saw us mark 10 years since we started our junior academy, we have seen loads of kids come through our doors and it’s fitting that on this weekend we are hosting Scottish snooker under 21’s event one and everyone playing it has been a member of our academy, loads of people have helped along the way from World snooker, Scottish snooker, professionals , top amateurs to local businesses sponsoring competitions it’s been a team effort, thanks to Anthony McGill for his help for the first few years and also to Leo Scullion who continues to help out and has been here from the beginning.
Snooker has been good to our family and be able to give something back is very rewarding and humbling, we will continue to try and grow junior snooker and disability snooker in Scotland.
Thanks to premium cues who this morning sent in gifts for all the kids, it was great to see ex pro Chris Totten who has played in the club since he was 11 stay and play all the kids a few games.
We will be having a 10 year anniversary competition later on this year.
Our next academy is on Saturday 24th October 10am -12 noon and will be followed buy Scottish snooker under 18’s.
