CueSports Barbados has launched an ambitious initiative aimed at introducing more young people to pool through its  CueConnect initiative and Pool in School programme.

The organisation recently donated a pool table to the Grantley Adams Memorial School,  making the St Joseph institution the first to receive equipment under the programme. According to CueSports Barbados president Daniel Hinds, the initiative forms part of the organisation’s vision to bring pool into schools while supporting the sport’s development and growth at a national level.

“In 2022, one of our members Davi Davis started up a team called Young Bloods. Young Bloods is still going on and it gives the kids the opportunity to play in our tournaments, especially team tournaments.
