This year’s annual World Women’s Snooker Day will take place during the Cazoo World Snooker Championship on Tuesday 30 April.
The day will see activities organised at the Cue Zone situated at the Sheffield Winter Garden with the aim of raising awareness of the World Women’s Snooker Tour and the opportunities available for women to pick up a cue and play our sport competitively at all levels.
World Women’s Snooker (WWS), with support from the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA), has seen huge growth in recent years with this season featuring ranking events in six nations across four continents – culminating with an unforgettable World Women’s Championship won by Bai Yulu in Dongguan, China last month.
The WWS Tour is now an established qualifying pathway to the World Snooker Tour (WST), while continuing to promote inclusivity and welcoming players of all age groups, experience and levels of ability.
The day will be coordinated by both WST and WWS, with WPBSA Snooker Coaches Mark Peevers and our current world seniors champion Tessa Davidson, joined by selected tour players to help promote women’s snooker during the BBC’s Crucible coverage.
As in previous years, players and supporters of women’s snooker are encouraged to support the day and to help promote the sport to women and girls everywhere, whether in Sheffield on the day, or online via social media using the #WomensSnooker hashtag.
