Re:Ideas on how to promote cuesports among young 3 Years, 8 Months ago  
hmm good question. i hv been trying 2 get more of my friends *guys or girls* 2 play pool. But they just seems 2 be nt interested in it. They r more into online and computer games.

Sometimes i find some really damn cool video and show it 2 them but they jsut dun seems 2 be interested and i dun know y.

Its just the image of pool and learning what its about i guess. If you can throw in something hip and cool and at the same time with some technical details of the game, it might generate some interest.

Im still trying to figure it out.

I think it also boils down to the stereotyping here~

I think most people still link cuesport with gangsterism, especially those of the older generations. But actually cuesport is a healthy sport, even classified an Olympic sport. I guess more postive publicity needs to be done, be it in schools or outside. As a player for more than 4yrs, I don't regret playing it.

Should focus more on attracting female players.

Where the flower goes the bees will follow!

Instead of improving i think it would have been a big accomplishment if we can prevent the pool culture from sliding towards degeneration.

Wow my first post here!

Actually the problem with the image is probably the biggest problem and actually it should start right from the one place our students spend their most time in.

Schools!

If schools can start accepting Pool as a sport and not a gangster activity, we'd probably have a better chance or promoting pool to youths.

For one, I see that we have a National Schools Snooker Championships.

That encourages schools to sent teams to win it, because schools enjoy winning and glory as long as it is recognised.

If we set up a National Schools Pool Championships or something. Send out an invitation to schools over the island, we would probably have an effect just like those National A, B or C Divisional tournament and schools will start recognising pool as a Sport, not a gangster activity.

It looks like its going in a vicious circle.
