You might want to try one of our supervised play sessions (see below) before joining a class to see what comes back.

SUPERVISED PLAY :
Practice what you've learned with an instructor in an informal atmosphere with absolutely no pressure.
You do NOT need a partner. In fact, this is the best way to find a new one.
View our Supervised Play schedule by clicking on the "Supervised Play Schedule" left prompt on your screen.

FOR INTERMEDIATE PLAYERS :
These classes teach you how not to think like a beginner.
They include the "right" way to count out hands; what you should be thinking about before playing to the first trick;
counting tricks as declarer and defender; preemptive bidding, balancing, negative doubles, distributional bids, and more advanced play technique.
Four to six practice hands are thoroughly analyzed every session.
