Fun Snooker Routines

[Dannyboy]

Can anyone please suggest any snooker routines that help youngster's learn but also a bit of fun at the same time?

Have a look at the videos uploaded by this guy:

They're for pool, but most can be adapted for snooker.

I enjoyed this game:

and it really helped me get a feel for the power of shots, angles, etc.

those first ones are cool but not workable on a snooker table.

Danny. As endorsed throughout our region I probably have more experience of running coaching schools than most. For over 30 years I ran groups numbering up to 200 youngsters every week on 10 different sites. I have numerous fun event coaching sequences and even gave shows using kids to demonstrate enjoyment of the game. You know where I am. You're welcome to contact me anytime. F.

Hi Frank hope you are well,

It would be great for the children if you could tell me some Frank . I spend two night's a week voluntary with the children, Since i started showing them a few thing's more and more of them are taking an interest in snooker. They have a full size snooker table but have no light's for over the table or any money to buy any, so as a gift to the Youth Club i am buying them some proper snooker light's for over the table and i am buying them a new set of snooker ball's as some of the red's they have are chipped so they should be delivered to me by this week

The first link was to his "channel" and it lists all his videos. The first ones will only be his most recent videos (assuming it defaulted to sorting in that order). Yes, a lot of them are not immediately usable on a snooker table. But, if you understand the principle/point of each, you can usually find a variant for snooker which does something similar

That said, they're more drills than games. There are only a couple of "fun" games there, and even then that's probably pushing it.

But, it sounds like Frank will have the OP sorted, so no worries

Yes Frank Sandell has a great reputation as a Top Snooker Coach, and he has very kindly offered to show me some thing's and advice on working with youngster's i am going to see him at his house on Thursday and i cant thank him enough for taking timeout to help me help the children this is a man to admire and respect as he is doing all this free of charge.
