The Stephen Harrison Snooker Academy is a social enterprise based in Sheffield. The academy provides all inclusive accredited snooker tuition for children and young people with additional needs, over 2,000 children per year benefit from the sessions that the academy provides, children come along and learn how to play snooker correctly, learning the basics of the game then progressing to become excellent snooker players.
Former professional snooker player Stephen says, “It's great so many children love to play the game of snooker, we have been providing sessions for children with additional needs since 2007 and the children who come along really love playing the game, they get the chance to meet new friends, they get so much out of it. We have some excellent players and it's nice to see the children having a nice time playing the game they love. The children who attend the academy are aged between 8-18 years old, but we have many young people who have been coming for years now and when they have turned 18 they have the opportunity to become an academy volunteer passing on the skills they have learnt to new learners. Over the years the children don’t only become great players, I have found it helps the children with numeracy and literacy, we use a variety of ways to do this by using specialised snooker balls with numbers and letters on them this is proved to be a new interactive way of learning, It also helps with concentration levels improves dexterity and hand/eye co-ordination, it is a terrific sport for helping people with weak, concentrative powers. The academy staff and volunteers train people who find focusing on strategy, learning where to position the balls and which part of a ball to strike with the cue incredibly difficult, but I have found that with patience, respect and specialised tuition they can enjoy the sport, follow the rules and learn how to improve their standard.”
The sessions are run weekdays after school and Saturdays at The Green Room Snooker Club, High Green, if you are a parent/carer of a child with a disability and you would like to get your child involved in some inclusive snooker fun please call Stephen on 0114 2242346 or 07864046826 or email [email protected] or visit http://www.snookerskills.com/ you never know we might find a future world snooker champion from Sheffield one day.
