“This class has been great! The instructors are excellent! Kids enjoyed it very much – a lot more than I thought they would. Would love to have the kids continue. The instructors are also very responsive and quick in responding to any questions.”

“I think that this program is a fun way to learn Bridge. I did all the drills because it was exciting to play and there was a chance to win the prize so it motivated me to do the drills. Thank you so much for teaching me to play Bridge. I had a great time learning.”

“One of my favorite things about the lessons was the cheerful way in which you answered my questions, even when I was struggling to understand a concept. Thank you for going over the Rule of 11 with me multiple times until I figured it out. For the tournament, we didn't end up doing so well; however, I ended up being dummy for a lot of rounds. After the restart happened, I made an error in my bidding for the first hand and Henry made an error in the play of the second hand, making us lose more points. However, I enjoyed the process of getting to play several boards one after the other.”

“My son enjoyed the training, techniques, and gameplay. This year was all online and it went smoothly. Instructors were very good and moved kids to the groups matching their skill/ability level if needed. All around excellent.”

“For anyone with kids who read chess and card books for fun on their own, especially, and love playing these games when offered, as a sign they are kindred spirits to those who are showing up weekly to this and loving it, I cannot recommend this more.”
