1. TRAINING CAMP 5-PINS YOUTH.
The weekend of 24-26 May sees 7 young players from Germany, Denmark, France, Netherlands and Czech Republic gather in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, for a training camp in 5-pins under the supervision of 5-pins coach Luca Marzio Garavaglia. The camp will be held at Bergisch Gladbacher Billiards Club, founded in 1926 and located in the same building as Paffrath Integrated Comprehensive School. The whole area is very sport dedicated and will give a great atmosphere to the camp.
CEB will cover all costs for the players during the weekend except travel. The camp is a part of the ongoing partnership with Longoni Cues to develop and grow the youth billiards in Europe. 5-pins is a very popular game in some parts of Europe but deserves a bigger audience, as it combines strategy, defense and offense play in a very interesting way, and it’s also a good beginner’s game. We hope that this camp will help to grow the recognition of 5-pins in the billiards world.
2. TRAINING CAMP 3-CUSHION LADIES.
As previous years, CEB will again organize a training camp in 3-cushion for women at Wedel Billiard Club (Germany), with Martin Horn as the head coach. More details will come soon, but mark the date 9-11 August in your calendars.
