The Bridge Table

Whether beginner, intermediate or advanced, you will learn by playing lots of hands, not by listening to boring lectures.

Each week, you’ll learn a bidding, play or defensive strategy, then play hand after hand to practice the new concept.

After each hand is played, all the cards will be turned up and the bidding, play and defense will be reviewed while you can still remember it.

You won’t need to take notes because you’ll take home handouts with clear explanations and quizzes to reinforce what you just learned.

You’ll receive copies of every hand played in class with written analysis of the suggested bidding, play and defense.

You’ll receive your own bidding summary, a handy, pocket-sized guide to help you remember the various bids.

You are guaranteed to hear one terrible joke per class.

You will play with clean cards.

Students wear nametags to help everyone make new friends to call and play with between classes.

If you must miss a class, you can (1) make it up at any other class we offer, or (2) send a friend to the missed class in your place. Make-ups must be taken in the current semester before your series ends. If you’ll be missing a class late in the semester, it’s okay to take your make up before you actually miss a class.

Ridgewood classes: tuition is fully refundable before the first class. If at the first class you discover you’re in the wrong class, we’ll transfer you to an appropriate class, or refund your tuition. No refunds after you leave the first class.
