Pool Pros pitch in at Florida YMCA

Pro players in Orlando for this weekend's 4th Annual Central Florida Open took a break from the basketball on Wednesday and got back to something they know a bit more about as they pitched in at the local YMCA giving free lessons and performing trick shots for the kids on Thursday.

Mika Immonen, Rodney Morris, Charlie Williams, Thorsten Hohmann and Johnny Archer all gave their time to help the cause. The exhibition was not the first exposure these kids have had to the billiards world as Larry Giles of Central FL TAP helps the kids weekly with tournaments and lessons and supports a junior program at this YMCA.

The pros also held a charity event on Thursday night to help benefit Central FL TAP's junior programs.
