- Rob picked up his first pool cue at the age of ten, and from that moment, the game became more than just a pastime, it became a passion. Growing up, I found myself not only learning the fundamentals but also stepping into tournaments and experiencing the thrill of competition. Traveling across the country, he absorbed styles strategies, and lessons from players of all levels, each shaping his game in unique ways.
- Over the years, he developed a deep love for one pocket, a discipline that mirrors the mental battle of chess. Each shot isn’t just about precision, but about foresight – thinking three, four, even five moves ahead. One pocket taught me patience strategy, and the beauty of playing the long game.
- What excites Rob most about billiards is not just competing but sharing the game with others. I believe pool is for everyone and I want to help players at all levels see the strategy, the creativity, and the joy hidden in every rack. My mission is to grow the love of billiards, to show the bright side of competition, and to inspire others to sharpen their skills while enjoying the journey.
PBIA Master Instructor
Roy Pastor
- Instructor BiographyA Lifetime in the SportRoy Pastor began playing pool at age nine in New York. He successfully competed on the ACUI National Collegiate circuit during the 1970’s. Roy took a 20 year hiatus from the sport raising his daughters and building his legal career. Upon returning to the game, Roy focused his energy on studying the sport with a deep commitment to instruction, coaching, and player development rather than personal competition.
- Decades of Instructional LeadershipSince the late 1990s, Roy has led junior training programs across schools, community centers, and regional billiard clubs. By 2001, he was offering weekly free instruction to young players and soon began hosting Junior National qualifiers that drew competitors from across the Northeast. Recognizing the need for structured teaching methods, he earned his BCA instructor certification in 2005 and expanded his coaching to both juniors and adults.
- Professional Recognition & Leadership RolesRoy is a PBIA Master Instructor, the 2020 PBIA Instructor of the Year, and a New England Billiard Hall of Fame inductee. He is the 2025 BCA President’s Award recipient, Lead Instructor for the BCA/WPA Break and Run Junior Program, and a current Board Member of the Billiard Education Foundation. Beyond instruction, he owns and operates the New England USA Pool League, the Red Dragon Billiards Club & Training Center, and the American Online Pool School — all while continuing to practice law full‑time. He also hosts the growing YouTube channel All Things Pool New England, launched at the urging of his daughters.
