INTRO TO WOMEN"S BILLIARDS PRESENTATION

"Intro to Women's Billiards" - June 4th

Do you have a friend who may be interested in billiards but hasn't made the leap yet? Or have you met someone who has just moved to The Villages and trying to find a new activity to participate in?

The WVBC is it's quarterly "Intro to Women's Billiards". It is meant to inform women residents of the opportunities for the sport of billiards in the Villages.  


ALL Ladies of The Villages are invited to come and bring a friend to learn about the sport and its many opportunities for women on Saturday, June 4th at Eisenhower Recreation Center from 2 – 3pm. 
The WVBC wants to encourage women to come to the tables to learn a fun sport. Billiards offers social and competitive opportunities, and a challenge to the brain helping keep the mind sharper and healthier.

The presentation will include information about the sport, handouts listing free lessons and playing opportunities for all skill levels, and additional information about groups and upcoming events.

The Villages can boast 21 recreation centers having a total of 121 billiards tables for residents to play on. Many of those who play are women, and the number continues to grow. Part of the WVBC’s mission is to bring more women to the tables as they share their enthusiasm for their sport.

Hope to see you there!
