Learn Snooker · Your first lesson

Your first snooker coaching session at HB.

You do not need a big break or your own cue to ask about coaching. The useful starting point is an honest description of your game, a realistic weekday slot and a willingness to work on the basics.

Start with a conversation and an assessment.

Tell the owner whether you are completely new, play occasionally, or already play regularly. Explain what you find difficult and what you hope to improve. Players are assessed before placement so the group and plan suit their current level.

The initial assessment is always free. The first coaching intake is from 10 November 2026. Call 0311-1233331 or WhatsApp +92 323 4468610 to arrange your assessment and confirm enrolment and group times. Your enquiry starts a conversation; it does not automatically reserve a place. The owner confirms arrangements personally.

Know the format and what is included.

HB’s coaching is in groups of five using two reserved tables. Each scheduled lesson lasts 60 minutes, Monday to Friday, in a fixed slot between 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Twenty scheduled lessons over four weeks add up to 20 hours of group coaching. You learn alongside your group; this is not 20 hours of private instruction. Coaching table time and cues are included.

Foundations covers stance, grip, bridge, cue action, consistent potting and an introduction to cue-ball control. Player Development works on more advanced control, break-building, safety and match preparation. The free initial assessment helps establish a suitable starting point; a more expensive plan is useful only if it fits your current game.

Check whether five weekdays fit your life.

Plan around the same one-hour slot each Monday to Friday for four weeks. The coaching window is 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm; your group has a fixed time within it, rather than a different arrival time each day. Include travel to and from DHA Phase 4 when comparing this with school, university or work.

Before committing, look at an actual four-week calendar. If exams, shifts or other regular commitments make the routine difficult, tell the owner and ask about availability. These published plans cover weekday coaching; do not assume a weekend or flexible replacement schedule is included. Enrolment and your group time are confirmed personally on WhatsApp.

  1. Mark a one-hour weekday slot that you can realistically attend, including time to travel.
  2. Check all four weeks for exams, shifts, appointments and other clashes.
  3. Tell the owner about any difficulty before choosing a group, and ask them to confirm its actual time.

Budget for the full cycle, not just one lesson.

The full four-week cycle costs PKR 15,000 for Foundations or PKR 20,000 for Player Development. Dividing each fee across 20 scheduled lessons gives PKR 750 or PKR 1,000 per lesson respectively. Those figures help you compare the value of the full cycle; they are not separate single-lesson offers.

The cycle fee includes group coaching, table time during the scheduled lessons and provided cues. You do not need to buy your own cue to begin. Extra practice or other play outside lessons is charged at the club’s regular table rates, with no student discount included. Allow for your travel and any additional practice you choose when deciding what fits your budget.

Arrive ready to learn, rather than prove your level.

Bring two or three questions about your game. Wear something comfortable for moving around the table. You can use a provided cue, so there is no need to buy equipment before asking about your first cycle.

The exact exercises depend on the coach and your group’s starting level. This page does not promise a particular minute-by-minute lesson. A useful question to ask is: “What should I concentrate on before the next session?” Write that answer down and use it to give your practice a purpose.

Understand missed lessons before committing.

A session missed by a student is forfeited and is not made up. A session cancelled by the coach or club is rescheduled. This makes reliable attendance a practical part of choosing the course: flag known clashes early rather than assuming you can recover the lesson later.

Before choosing a cycle, check that both the full fee and the weekday routine work for you. You can ask questions during the always-free initial assessment. Discuss any payment questions directly with the owner before enrolment.

Bring your questions to the free assessment.

Use the conversation to understand your starting level and whether the plan fits your routine. Tell the owner what you can currently do, what you would like to improve and which weekdays or times may be difficult. The first coaching intake is from 10 November 2026; confirm your own enrolment and group time personally before travelling for a lesson.

Find us at 148 CCA, DHA Phase 4 Sector DD, Lahore, in the basement of Bank Al Habib. Call 0311-1233331 or WhatsApp +92 323 4468610 to discuss coaching; the owner answers from 3:00 pm to 3:00 am. Ask about availability before travelling for a lesson.

  1. Which plan suits my current game, and what should I concentrate on first?
  2. Which fixed group time is available, and when would my coaching begin?
  3. What practice would be useful between lessons, and which table costs would be additional?
  4. Does the four-week weekday routine fit the commitments I have explained?

A few quick questions.

Is the initial assessment free?

Yes. The initial assessment is always free. Call 0311-1233331 or WhatsApp +92 323 4468610 to arrange it. Coaching enrolment and group times are confirmed personally.

Can a complete beginner enquire?

Yes. Foundations is designed for beginners and players strengthening their fundamentals. Tell us your experience so we can discuss the right starting point.

Are high breaks guaranteed after four weeks?

No. Break milestones are development goals. Progress depends on your starting ability, attendance and practice; one cycle does not guarantee a particular break or a professional career.

Is the club smoke-free?

No. Smoking is permitted for customers aged 18 and above in the shared club environment. Smoking is not permitted for under-18s. Consider this when planning a visit.
