The American Poolplayers Association (APA) was founded by professional poolplayers and Billiard Hall of Famers Terry Bell and Larry Hubbart in 1979 as the National Pool League, which became the American Poolplayers Association in 1981. The two realized the popularity of the sport, but knew, that different from other sports, there was no existing recreational league system.

Today, the APA, also known as the Canadian Poolplayers Association in Canada and the Japanese Poolplayers Association in Japan, has grown to nearly 250,000 members and boasts more members than all other “national” leagues combined. The League is administered locally by a network of Franchise Operators, called League Operators, and is conducted weekly in a variety of both 8-Ball and 9-Ball team formats. There are nearly 300 APA Leagues throughout the U.S., Canada and Japan.

The World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA) is the international governing body for pocket billiards. The group was formed in Germany in November of 1987, as a result of the efforts of the European Pocket Billiard Federation. The Asian Pocket Billiard Union (APBU) was formed shortly after, and became the second member of the WPA. North America became the third member in 1990 and Oceania joined in 1992. The Australasian Pool Association represented Oceania in the WPA until 1999, until it was replaced by the Oceania Pocket Billiard Association (OPBA). It was also in 1999 that the Confederacion Panamerican de Billar (CPB) and the All African Pool Association (AAPA) joined the WPA and based upon this the WPA truly represents all corners of the world. The current WPA president is Ian Anderson of Australia.

All ages and abilities! Advance your skills faster than your skill level can keep up! Whether you're a leisure player looking to make more banks, a league player trying to be more competitive, or an aspiring pro who needs an equally serious coach, I will tailor my teaching style to meet your needs. Talk to me about live online instruction if you can't make it to our school in beautiful Upstate NY. Unlike other sports, I don't need to be physically next to you to help you with your pool game. Just like our in-person lessons, you'll get live coaching, corrections, and homework...except you don't have to come to Upstate NY for it. Wherever you are, with live online instruction I can be with you too!

I very much enjoy my lessons I believe they will help me a lot

My first lesson with Kim was fantastic. I’ve been playing pool for several years, self taught, play in an APA league (level 6), and I learned a ton in the hour we spent together. He has a great way at looking at the game that could help players of all skill levels improve. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone trying to learn the game, or trying to improve any facet of their game. He is a great instructor.

Phenomenal! Kim was so patient, kind, inspiring, thorough, fun, and knowledgeable. Our group all learned lessons in pool and some great life lessons too!

Kim was very helpful to improving my game immediately. I strongly recommend him.

Excellent coach, broke down my mistakes and gave me drills that is helping me immediately.

Kim was great, I am a high skill level player, a 6 in 8 ball ad a 7 in 9 ball and figured there was not much he could teach me , boy was I wrong. He was able to detect flaws in my grip on the wrap ( I was to much forward ) and in my stance ( I was to much closed ) Also my pre shot routine while good, my actual shot routine while once on the table is a little rushed compared to the best players, he gave me a driil to fix that. 5 Stars for sure.

Great teacher. I learned more with him than I could have on my own.

Kim worked with my 13-year-old daughter and is a pro, but keeps it fun too. He's relatable and made the foundation stuff important while making her feel good about learning the basics. I would recommend him all day long!

Kim was awesome!! Very patient and entertaining - while still getting the job done! He's got a great perspective on the importance of the basics how that foundation - even simple tweaks - will make a difference that grows as my skills do. "Don't rehearse the curse" - play consciously, so every shot is on purpose...with the correct mechanics. GREAT instructor!!!

Kim is a real professional, very knowledgeable and patient. His approach to teaching the game is excellent...

Had a great first lesson, Kim was able to spot several technique issues and made corrections to help build a more solid foundation.
