About The Jamaica Billiards Association

   

 

The Jamaica Billiards Association stands to be the true first of its kind. For years pool in Jamaica has yearned for a formal legal representative body for the sport but has come up short with each attempt for various reasons and shortcomings. In recent times however, pool has boomed even more drastically than before, with dedicated players spanning from one end of the island to the next. The founders of the JBA saw the massive potential for pool to take over Jamaica.

The JBA is the brain child of the team that started the number one website for pool , Billiards Jamaica.Com. Serious players themselves, the team knew the wants and needs to drive the sport to its peek level. From the beginning it was a slow and tedious task to pull all the aspects of building an organization together. Finding the right group of individuals willing to work together towards a distant seeming goal proved to be even harder. The association pulled together however, with the buzz of standardized athletic competition becoming the driving force to press forward.

The association’s quest not only stops in Jamaica but also seeks international gain on the Professional Billiards circuit. After the first year the JBA will set in place plans to send a Jamaican team to compete in the World Team Championships held in January of each year. With our inclusion on the body responsible for associations (pending) spanning the entire Pan American region, we intend to make Jamaica a staple in the world’s minds.
