Ms. Corr and Ms. Kelly attended Cue-Tech Pool School, a BCA Master Academy located in Dallas, TX. Randy Goettlicher, owner of Cue-Tech Pool School, BCA Master Instructor and former BCA Board of Director member commented, "Just like all other major sports, the pool community is now understanding and recognizing the 'teachers of the game'. For years, golf and tennis playing professionals have given great accolades to their instructors. The BCA Instructors Program (founded in 1992) has now joined those ranks."
Currently, there are 241 participants in the BCA Instructor Program. The program's mission is to raise the quality of billiard instruction, make it available to everyone who desires to increase their abilities and encourage a lifetime enjoyment in cue sports. Candidates enter the program at the Recognized Instructor level and advance through the program by meeting various requirements in continuing education, written tests, practical tests, student feedback forms and Master Instructor evaluations. In general, an instructor must serve at least two years at one level in order to advance to the next, although a "fast-track" program is available to instructors who show that they are especially effective in teaching methodologies. Bob Radford, Chairman of the BCA Instructor Committee and owner of Cue U in Rockford, IL, invites all those interested in teaching to consider the BCA's program. "By becoming BCA pool instructors, accomplished players have a unique opportunity to contribute to the dynamic growth of the billiard industry," Mr. Radford said.
