Billiards at Delmanor Northtown

The game of billiards has been popular for hundreds of years.  For over a century, competitive billiards has been considered a sport and not just a game.  That said, it's a great sport for seniors for a number of reasons:

1. it's safe, non contact, non strenuous and relaxing
2. it hones your concentration, balance and motor skills.  Pool is also a strategy game that exercises and challenges your brain!
3. it creates a social opportunity since pool tables are generally located in public areas and places        

Whether the Delmanor Northtown residents were beginner or intermediate pool players, they benefited from the instructional pointers offered by Bruce, the billiards instructor that hosted the event.

The seniors didn't require previous experience with the game to have enjoyed this fun and entertaining afternoon.  The residents were thrilled to be able to witness tricks such as ball jumping and other skilled shots.  Many of the seniors left feeling inspired to try to play a game of pool for the first time while others found it an excellent opportunity to brush up on their skills!
