2026/27 AACTIVE POOL LEAGUE

Program Purpose

The program’s purpose is to create an accessible pathway for junior players to learn, participate, and grow within the sport. Aactive aims to make pool an engaging recreational activity that rewards patience, practice, sportsmanship, and thoughtful decision-making. The league will emphasize personal progress and enjoyment while giving participants the structure and encouragement needed to challenge themselves.

What Aactive Hopes to Accomplish

• Develop foundational skills: Teach proper technique, game knowledge, safety, etiquette, and strategic thinking.
• Build confidence and character: Encourage perseverance, self-discipline, accountability, and composure in both practice and competition.
• Promote sportsmanship: Foster respect for teammates, opponents, coaches, officials, equipment, and league venues.
• Create meaningful connections: Give young players opportunities to form friendships, learn from mentors, and feel part of a supportive pool community.
• Provide a clear path for growth: Offer progressive learning and competitive opportunities that can support continued participation in local leagues, tournaments, and future leadership roles.
• Increase youth participation: Strengthen the long-term future of the sport by welcoming new junior players and keeping them engaged.

The Participant Experience

Aactive intends for every participant—whether completely new to pool or already developing competitive skills—to feel welcomed, supported, and appropriately challenged. Sessions will balance instruction, practice, and match play so juniors can apply what they learn, recognize their progress, and experience healthy competition. Success will be measured not only by wins and losses, but also by improved skills, consistent participation, positive conduct, and a growing enthusiasm for the game.

Divisions will be created by skill level not age. Parents will be asked to encourage their children, but not get involved in the game play unless the two participants request it. NO COACHING!

Cost

The cost for the full season is $150.00. This fee will cover VNEA Sanction, table time on each Saturday morning, wind up and payouts at the year end tournament. The cost for first time junior players is $10.00 per week until they have shown up 3 times. On their 4^th time showing up the full cost of the year will be in effect.

Qualifications

Any child between the ages of 7 and 17. We will look at Junior Players over 17 on a case by case basis.

Junior Players must show up 12 of the 16 weeks to be eligible for the year end tournament.

We are looking for commitment for this program. Our adult leagues have qualifications that they must meet. Aactive is asking the same of our Junior Players.

Dates

The program will be held on the following dates:

October 17th, 24th & 31^st

November 7th & 28th

December 5th & 12^th & 19^th

January 9^th, 16^th, 23^rd & 30^th

February 6^th, 20^th & 27^th

Community Impact and Long-Term Vision

Beyond individual development, the 2026/27 Junior Pool League Program aims to bring players, families, volunteers, coaches, and local venues together around a shared commitment to youth development. By establishing a dependable and inclusive junior league, Aactive hopes to create a sustainable program that participants can return to each season and that the broader community will be proud to support.

If you are an adult and a registered player of the Aactive Pool league and wish to volunteer to run a Jr Pool League in your city – please contact Scott Morgan to discuss.

In 2025, we sent 13 kids to Rochester, MN to compete in the VNEA Jr World Championships. Each of them played their heart out and many came so close to bringing home a charlie. A HUGE thank you to all who supported in the countless fundraisers we held to make this happen. You helped build memories that will last a lifetime!
