YOUTH WELCOMED!
As a true "promoter" of the sport of pocket billiards, it's REALLY exciting to know that TAP welcomes players of ALL ages to participate and learn more about the sport of pocket billiards. There is NO age limit to play on a TAP Amateur Pool League Team and the younger generation (who will be the future of the sport) are more than welcomed to be part of the TAP family.
​
When we announced our Friday night 8-Ball Teams Division, Joe McGlynn and his daughter Hailey, approached me and asked it they could play. I welcomed them with open arms... and now father and daughter are playing together on one of our Friday night league teams.
​
Hailey is 11 years old and has a passion for the sport. Everyone cheered her on in her first match on June 13, 2025. Although Hailey did not win her match, she managed to win one game and made some amazing shots... including a wicked bank shot and a nice combination shot to take control of that game.
​
Thanks to young players, like Hailey, this sport will continue to grow and gain popularity for years to come.
​
Our heartfelt thanks go out to Joe and his wife for allowing Hailey to play in our league and continue to show that TAP has NO boundaries when it comes to the next generation of pool players in our league and the world today. ​

TAP Nationals tournaments for 2025 and 2026 anNounced!
It's ALL about the Ladies!
Treasure Coast TAP is pleased to announce its Ladies' 8-Ball Team Division for 2025! Team rosters will be comprised of 5 ladies and will play TWO full 5-player matches against their scheduled opponent. Teams will be playing two player matches concurrently to keep things moving. As is the rule for regular TAP divisional teams, the maximum team skill level limit for the 5 players playing on each team is 25. ALL TAP Pool League rules apply to the Ladies' Division.
The host location for the Ladies' Division will be Raxx Billiards. League play for this division will be held one (or two) Saturday each month throughout 2025 and early 2026 beginning at 1 pm. At the end of the session, the TOP teams in the division will playoff for their entry into the TAP Ladies' "National" Championship to be held during "Rally In the Valley" in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania in the spring of 2026. The winning team will have its registration, airfare, and 3 hotel rooms paid for by Treasure Coast TAP. There are NO exceptions to this! The league will not "pay out" the winning team in lieu of the trip to play in the national championship.
​
Each player MUST BE a registered TAP player in good standing to participate. If you are not a member, JOIN TODAY! The annual fee is $20 and must be paid to participate. The weekly dues per team is $100.
Weekend Billiards Training Series
Session 2: Learning "Center Ball"
Date: To Be Announced
One of my goals as an advanced pool player and league licensee is to be a coach to my players. I want them to enjoy the sport of pocket billiards, but also learn more about the sport and elevate their play to new levels.​ These 90-minute interactive training sessions are designed for players of ALL skill level. Each session will be centered around topics, techniques, and tips that I've learned over my many years of playing the sport.
The first session for 2025 will be focused on learning the importance of "Playing Center Ball". It's fun to use a lot of English when playing billiards; however, cue ball control can be challenging when you don't fully understand where the cue ball will land. Playing center ball (top, middle, and bottom) will give you a better understanding of the path of the cue ball (tangent line) after striking the object ball and the rail. By mastering your play with center ball, your skill at the table will dramatically improve. And soon you will realize that English should only be applied when necessary.
In the coming weeks, I will be scheduling additional 90-minute interactive training sessions for up to 8 players on selected Saturday afternoons at one of the local pool halls to teach those attending about different aspects and techniques of pocket billiards. Each session will be specific to a topic, and is open to anyone who wants to join me to learn more about the sport... and themselves.
And the best part about these sessions is that they are FREE! I love this sport... and I want to do my part in promoting it and growing it, and elevating YOUR game!
