Students and Parents: It’s our 10th Anniversary of High School Billiards!

2010 BEF Texas State H.S. Billiard Champions- Richardson ISD

Students and parents we would like to introduce you to the pilot Billiard Education Foundation’s (BEF) 10th season of the BETTER High School Billiard Program (Billiard Excellence Through Training, Education & RecreationÔ). This unique billiard program was started in 2001, and is designed as an alternative after-school sport for ALL high school boys and girl students. There are opportunities for national and international competition, college scholarships, and academic and billiard excellence recognition.

This is our 10th year offering billiards to high school students in the Dallas area. In past years we are proud to have sent dozens of our students to compete at the U.S. Junior Nationals to represent Texas, proud of those students who have excelled at the “Nationals”, proud of those for their BEF Academic All-American recognition, and proud of those who have received college scholarships for their commitment to billiards.

 The purpose of this program is to train, educate and offer an alternative H.S. sport that is competitive to students wishing to participate on a high school billiard team or club. The program is ALWAYS highly supervised and discipline is strictly enforced. This year’s program will once again be FUN yet competitive for all students involved playing against other high school billiard teams in the Dallas area.

B.E.T.T.E.R. Play BilliardsTM goal is to provide anyone with useful information about starting an after high school intramural billiard program in your local area. The students enjoy the program and the schools now have an alternative after-school sports program.

We have been serving the Dallas, Texas community since 1998. We specialize in junior and youth billiard programs which include the B.E.T.T.E.R. High School Billiard Program, BEF Junior National Qualifier Tournaments, and BCA Certified Billiard Instruction.

"Billiards offers a connection for some students who otherwise wouldn't participate in any enrichment activities. We are quite technical in our instruction, and learning proper mechanics exposes students to elements of physics, geometry and mathematics. We have been fortunate to have these tables donated, as they provide a valuable in-school teaching tool. The tables allow our physics and geometry instructors to demonstrate and teach their subjects in a way that students can relate to."
-Sam Jolly (Berkner High School, Teacher/Sponsor)
