About JACCS    

    The JACCS association was formed in August of 2009. As of August 2010 JACCS was reformed to include amateur players in our events. We are still here for the juniors and are still trying to grow the sport.  We are still funding junior expenses for the National and World competitions, providing access to coaching to improve your game, and provide experiences that you can take with you into the professional World of billiards or into your adult life.

Although JACCS is a young association it can now guarantee you that your entry into the Junior Nationals is paid for and if you are in the top 3 at the Nationals, your expenses to the worlds will be paid for.

 To qualify as a Junior you must me 18 as of December 31 of the year of the tournament.

 For amateur players we are here to give you a chance to improve your game. We have just started the new Diamond A Tour. This is the first amateur (men and women) and junior only tour in Ontario. We look forward to meeting you all and hope we have great success in the upcoming year.

Don’t miss out on the most exciting opportunity ever to happen for Amateurs & Juniors in Canada!!!

Grace Nakamura - Business Development

Billiards is my life. Whether it’s teaching a junior billiard class at Toronto’s prestigious Granite Club, performing at a private or corporate function, or organizing leagues and tournaments, I have dedicated my life to this sport and would love to see it reach the next level during my lifetime. My personal satisfaction doesn’t come from winning now; it comes from knowing that I have made a difference in someone’s life whether it is through competitive pool or the life’s lessons that this game can teach.

• Certified Referee 

Giving and sharing are probably the 2 most important lessons this game has taught me. Along the way a lot of people helped me out, and if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be where I am today. With their help, I was able to become Canada’s first card carrying female professional billiard player and they gave me a career for which I am very grateful. To show my gratitude, I now want to focus on the grassroots level of our sport, which is why I am so pleased and honored to be a part of this new and exciting organization.
