Anthony Beeler: The Educator Who Transformed Billiards Instruction

LEXINGTON, Ky. - EntSun -- Few figures have done more to bridge the gap between education and athletic mastery than Anthony Beeler, an internationally recognized billiards instructor whose teaching has reached students in more than 100 countries.

A PBIA and ACS Master Instructor, Beeler was named SPM Magazine's Billiards Instructor of the Decade, an honor that reflects his influence on how the game is taught. A former BCAPL National 9-Ball Champion and six-time regional titleholder, his Fargo Rating above 700 places him among the sport's elite.

What sets Beeler apart is his dual career as both educator and athlete. A licensed Kentucky educator with over 26 years in public education, he serves as Director of Pupil Personnel for Lincoln County Schools, ensuring compliance with attendance laws and supporting at-risk students under the McKinney–Vento Homeless Assistance Act. His background in education shapes his coaching philosophy—breaking complex skills into clear, repeatable systems.

"Good instruction—whether in math or billiards—requires structure, feedback, and patience," Beeler says. "You can't rush mastery. You must teach understanding, not just information."

That principle led to the creation of Virtual Billiard Academy, the world's first comprehensive online school for pool. What began as a small virtual platform has grown into a global hub, serving over 31,000 students in 102 countries. Through video analysis and personalized feedback, Beeler helps players refine mechanics, improve focus, and build mental consistency.

Over his career, Beeler has coached 27 APA Regional Champions, two BEF Junior National Champions, three professional tournament winners, six BCAPL National Champions, and multiple WPBA touring professionals—including a Hall of Famer and a top-ten-ranked female player.

His proprietary BAM Aiming System—a visual alignment model combining geometry and cognitive training—has been adopted by hundreds of players worldwide, enhancing accuracy and confidence.

A McDermott Cues Ambassador and Diamond Billiard Products–sponsored instructor, Beeler has produced instructional content for a global audience of more than 17,000 YouTube subscribers.

From classrooms in Kentucky to pool halls around the world, Anthony Beeler continues to inspire excellence through discipline, knowledge, and passion.
