Pool classes are held in Atlanta, Georgia. Our 3-Day Weekend Intensive pool lessons are comprised of three one-day, small-group clinics.

  1. Rock Solid Fundamentals
  2. Controlling the Balls
  3. Secret Aiming Systems of the Pros

Each course runs Saturday, Sunday and Monday. We partner with pool halls in the Atlanta, Georgia area to host our classes and have excellent relationships with many local businesses. Depending on the needs of our students and availability locations may change. Classes are scheduled 30-60 days in advance to adapt to our students time frame.

For class schedules and locations call 614-975-8337.

Pool lessons are hands-on, taught by world class pool instructors. To improve, you need to spend time at the table, practicing the skills that we’re working on. Pool school is not competitive. Each class will have pool players starting at different skill levels, with individuals working on their own skills, at their own table. Multiple billiards instructors will be available to help each player work on the skills they need to focus on.

Private pool lessons with Tom Simpson are available through special arrangement, usually in Roanoke, Virginia and surrounding areas.

We recommend that players at every level take the 3-Day Intensive. Day 1 is “Rock Solid Fundamentals.” Most pool players are stuck at some level because their fundamentals are not strong enough to allow them to progress. I am a maniac about developing & maintaining a solid foundation of good fundamentals. Advanced knowledge is of little value without this base. If you can’t make the cueball go where you want, advanced knowledge & techniques are of little value. Once your fundamentals are shaping up, “Controlling the Balls” (Day 2) is the next logical step. After that, “Secret Aiming Systems of the Pros” (Day 3) helps you put it all together into a stronger game – permanently. Most players come out of the 3-Day Intensive with enough to work on to make progress on their own for several years. View the BROCHURE.
