The Manhattan Youth Pool Academy

31/10/2026

A continuous fantastic turn out for the academy once again and we are only getting stronger.

This week was a Halloween special but only a few got the memo 👀😅. We had Dracula, a skeleton and even men in black (girl) who made the effort. The important thing is they keep coming back every week and it’s great to see all of them getting so much better.

Absolutely proud of all of them and we are still getting new ones through the door.

A great little community, with bags of talent who come to enjoy themselves every Saturday.

There’s jokes and banter mixed in with some brilliant pool and everyone leaves happy and return the next week.

We treat the kids to some sweets too 🍬

A great session had by all!

Well done to everyone and Bradley who got player of the week receiving a free hour of pool!

If there is anymore children that wish to come to the academy it is on Saturdays 10am-12. It’s £10 per child.

Thank you

Friday 2nd October was a bit of a different outing for the Manhattan Youth pool academy…..

10 Adults and 9 kids travelled to York for a few games of bowling at Ten Pin York.

Let’s just say the academy had an absolute blast with lots of laughter, fun and competitiveness throughout the ranks.

Even the parents had a go so we split the 9 kids on 2 teams as well as the 10 parents in to 2 teams. Safe to say I think the kids scores beat the adults overall 👀🤣.

Out in front was Elise and Robert parents and we swore all they did this summer was go bowling. Gav (their dad) scored a whooping 164 on the second game…incredible!

Isabelle took the number 1 spot over the 2 games and managed 116 on the second game 🤯. Christian awarded the winner with a free hour of pool at the club and Izzy was made up.

There was a couple that were sadly poorly on the day so couldn’t make it as it would have been great to have them there.

There was some very close games and it was something different for the kids.

It was a fantastic night and a great little bonding session not just for the kids but for the parents too!

This weeks coaches player of the week goes to IZZY. The way she has conducted herself around the table, listens and is determined to get better is the reason for the award. Another free hour for Izzy 😊.

I have to say what an incredible little community academy we have and the main man Christian is always trying to give back and help everyone. I think we should just appreciate for a minute just how much he’s put in to the club and wants it to keep striving for all generations of players.

Thank you Christian 🎱

Keep an eye out for all the updates going on. It’s only getting bigger and better from here on in 🙌

A big shout out to Alfie Pasby for taking down the Nappa pool break out prodigy comp over at sky lounge today beating some quality talent along the way.

An exceptional talent and it’s nice to see him go for gold.

It’s also nice to see an academy player doing bits elsewhere!

The comp also had another one of our North Yorkshire U18’s county player in Toby-George Clarke. Keep pushing both of you!

He’s one of our own 🎱

Congrats Alfie!

Today was the 2nd ever youth county game for North Yorkshire playing against an ever dominant East Yorkshire side.

As we only have 1 team at the moment we played both of their A and B team. East Yorkshire getting off to a great start although we had some great chances and the frames were really close to going either way. East Yorkshire kicked on in the middle part of the game and what a team they have. We never gave up but they were just a little too strong for us. Final result NY 14-22 EY 🎱

Moving on to playing their B side and it was much of the same for East Yorkshire flying in to a 6-0 lead. They were certainly up for the game but our little superstars had other ideas. Clawing back the deficit frame by frame with some absolute class pool from both sides. Every youth is a credit to both counties and the etiquette of everyone was on point all the way through!

North Yorkshire brought it hooooome 19-17 for our first win of the season 🙌🙌 👏 👏 👏

A proud moment for me, for Christian, the parents and the youths for having the grit and determination to never give up and get behind your team even when things aren’t going your way. Absolutely incredible!!!

Thank you to all involved it really was a smooth running day and the atmosphere was perfection.

That is how matches should be played!

Little 8 year old Chester in the A team showing us how it’s done!! Going to be some player that kid!!!

We’re all YORKSHIRE art we 🎱

It was an Adult and youth day yesterday at the The Manhattan Youth Pool Academy which turned out really good and everyone enjoyed it.

Had a couple of youths missing due to illness but the ones that made it had a fantastic time.

The kids are coming on leaps and bounds in the last year and it is only getting stronger.

Still open to any youths so why not come down and test your skills and have some fun. It’s a place where the kids can “let their hair down” so to speak and feel they are part of an ever growing youth academy.

Really is great to see some of the talent that is coming through here in Harrogate.

Next session is 20th December, 10am-Noon.

Be great to see you 🎱
