Question

I want to learn to play pool but Im in a wheelchair How can I find a place that would give me lessons?

Answer 1

I play in a league and there are people in wheelchairs who play as well.  As long as the bar has wheelchair accessibility you can get lessons there.  Go to the place you usually play at and ask around who gives lessons.  It shouldn't be difficult to find someone.

Answer 2

idk bro

Answer 3

Ask the same people who give lessons that anyone else uses.   You could start a bussiness selling wheelchair friendly pool tables..if there aren't any already.  GOOD LUCK

Answer 4

Uh, offer to pay for the lessons?

Okay, let's get some perspective. Let's say you had working legs and you taught billards for a living.  One day I stopped by in a wheelchair and asked you for lessons and I was willing to pay. Your choices are say yes and earn money or say no and not earn money. If it's more difficult than that, I don't know how.

I see an advantage to being able to play pool from an upright position because the birds-eye perspective can be helpful but when it's time to take the shot, we walkers have to bend way over to sight down the stick, bringing us to wheelchair height. It really seems like a no brainer to me.

When you get good, bring your check book over and we'll play. ;o)

Answer 5

Hey mate, they should give you lessons at all pool training places, they cater for everybody. I know some places which make the legs small on the table so people in wheelchairs can play.

Answer 6

hmm... try a snooker club.

Answer 7

Most pool halls have trainers on site... ... .. maybe they could help?  Good luck!  Don't let anything stop you  =)

*proud of you*

Answer 8

I would just ask around at local poolhalls or look to see if there is a pool and billiard magazine from the state you live in and there are usually adds in there for pool lessons.  I have seen many great pool players who play in wheelchairs and there is a pro and amature circuit for wheelchair players (NWPA), so that will not stop you from being a great player yourself.  Just practice practice practice.  Keep rackn em up!

Answer 9

best way to learn is watch people then practice yourself, you dont need lessons, but beware it will be  along and difficult struggle

Answer 10

Go to a place and find out when they are not too busy. Go for it.  It's a fun game.
