At Massé, we are mad about
cue sports.
Whether you want to play 8 Ball, 9 Ball, 10 Ball, snooker or billiards, you can play it at Massé.
All of our clubs are equipped with the best pool, snooker and billiards tables available – in fact, some of our tables have been used at the World Championships. So, whether you’re looking to play on a full-size snooker table, an American 9-foot pool table, or a Valley 7-foot pool table, we’ve got you covered.
All clubs run weekly tournaments and leagues that members can play in, and as a member of Massé you automatically become a member of the Valley National Eightball Association which entitles you to play in regional, national, and international tournaments around the world. Many of members go on to qualify and compete around the world! You can read more about our World Champs programme here.
Coaching
We have our own in-house cue sports coaching team that provides free coaching to all our members. This team is led by two renowned players - Marco Teutscher and Jimmy Henry.
Marco Teutscher
An internationally ranked player and former world champion, Marco is Massé’s Sales Manager and also coaches our top junior talent. He’s been playing competitively since he was 11 years old and has amassed dozens of titles and top placings in events all around the world.
As the junior coach, Marco oversees the development of the squad that travels to the US and competes in the VNEA World Championships.
Jimmy Henry
Jimmy has also played pool for much of his life, beginning as a child where he taught himself the ins and outs of the game at home. Once he was old enough, he started playing in local bars, which is where his career really began. He went on to win titles all over the world.
Now, Jimmy travels between Massé clubs providing free coaching and is committed to helping beginners to learn and love the sport, instilling in them the values of sportsmanship and respect.
During the school term, Massé runs free after school coaching from 3pm to 6pm at the Glen Eden (Wednesday), Pukekohe (Thursday), and Hamilton (Friday) branches. In the school holidays we also run holiday programs at these locations as well as at our Hawera branch.
Our junior coaching program caters for juniors of all levels who are interested in improving their game. Jimmy Henry oversees the program and is committed to making it easier for beginner or novice players to progress and enjoy the sport.
