LEXINGTON, Ky. - s4story -- What began as one man teaching pool in small-town Kentucky has grown into one of the most far-reaching billiards education platforms in the world. Today, that journey takes a new turn as Anthony Beeler — commonly known as the Father of Online Pool Instruction — announces the launch of the Anthony Beeler Virtual Billiard Academy College Scholarship.

Beeler's Virtual Billiard Academy has trained students across the United States and around the world using the first full-scale online billiards education system. Now, to honor both education and opportunity, Beeler is giving back through a college scholarship created specifically for students who love the game of pool and show dedication in the classroom and in life.

"This scholarship isn't about being a world champion," Beeler said. "It's about effort, character, and passion. Pool teaches discipline, focus, and resilience — and those traits deserve to be rewarded."

A Legacy Built on Students

Anthony Beeler's impact reaches far beyond the table. Through Beeler's Virtual Billiard Academy, he has taught thousands of players worldwide — from beginners to touring professionals — using personalized video instruction and structured training systems that remove geographic barriers from education.

But his students don't just become better players. They become teachers, champions, and leaders in the game.

The academy has trained or certified the last three major Instructor of the Year award winners, a rare achievement that highlights the program's lasting influence on the next generation of cue-sports educators.

Those honorees include:

• The 2025 PBIA Instructor of the Year recipient
• The 2024 PBIA Instructor of the Year recipient
• The 2025 ACS Instructor of the Year recipient

These accomplishments confirm what many students already know: Beeler teaches teachers — and his students go on to shape billiards across the globe.
