Coaching

The Irish Pool Association are committed to assisting our players to become the best players that they can be. We have teamed up with snooker and pool coach PJ Nolan to develop a coaching programme suitable for all players. PJ will be available at some of our tournaments throughout the year to offer individual coaching sessions (contact John McMahon 086 8211302 for further information).

PJ has developed several coaching workbooks that you can download below.
