EABA Coaching - Referees - Leagues - Players

This web blog has been set up to enable people to locate contacts for English Billiards in their area. I will be listing the information in the following order.

1. Coaches - EABA approved or other approved coaches
2. Referees
3. Leagues
4. Players

The idea of the site is that we should be able to locate relevant information in any area of the UK where we  might want to find a league to play in or locate a coach to help a player improve and also find a ref for that league final which is coming up soon. If you move into another part of the country you should be able to contact local players via the site. I recently located a local billiards league which has six teams via the web
which is only 6 miles from stockport.

Simply click Here to show the interactive map


We have players looking in Preston for leagues and blackpool.
