F1C. Improving Your Bridge Game

Personal Growth | Registration opens 2/25/2026 9:00 AM

So you know the hierarchy of suits, how to value your hand, and the bidding basics; you may have a group for regular games. But optimal bidding, game play strategy, and scoring are still a challenge. Learn strategies for more accurate bidding, more effective play, and how to score. At the conclusion of this course, you should have the knowledge and skills to play at game level more often and even bid the occasional small slam—and record it for posterity! 


NOTE: We will ‘borrow’ time from the first period so we have a full two-hour class to learn—and practice. Do not register for additional first or second period classes.
