If you are racking your brains for something new, exciting, and family-friendly to do this summer, and sick of the kids being camped out in front of the Xbox, pool your pennies and come to the Riverbender.Com Community Center.
John Hentrich, President of the Center remarked, “We're excited to bring something completely unique and family oriented to the Center to add to our summer programming schedule. Billiards is a great game for the whole family and it gives kids a nice alternative to the usual video games while building a completely different skill set. To have Tony Robles and Gail Glazebrook offer to host this event as a fundraising benefit is truly special. This is the kind of event and talent you would expect to see in places like New York or Las Vegas.”
The festivities begin at 11:00 a.m with a doubles (two-person team) single elimination Eight Ball tournament, with the winning teams squaring off against sixth ranked Tony, as well as Gail, the 2010 BCAPL Women's Open National Champion.
From 7:00 to 9:00 p.m there will be a display of trick-shot artistry, demonstrations, and a group lesson. Tony Robles has designed a unique system for teaching students the fundamentals of the game of billiards, including deadly accurate cue ball control (his 5-4-3-2-1 system), as well as defensive strategies, position play, mental attitude pointers, and drills for personal improvement.
Gail brings a unique perspective on making the sport of professional billiards come to life with her personable, friendly disposition. Pasta Dinner for $5.00 is available at the Center from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
