How Better Than 50 Bridge Became a Reality​​

​

As a long time bridge lover, my hobby has become my passion.  I want to introduce this game to as many people as possible by providing a platform that is focused on teaching and coaching.  The end goal is to help beginning and intermediate players elevate their game along with outreach that brings in new players. 

 

My first project was writing a book, "Better Than 50 Bridge" aimed at rising intermediate players.  I enjoyed that and wanted to do more.  It seemed to me, there was an unmet need in the bridge teaching world-affordable opportunities for players to connect with other bridge players at the same skill level. And accessible learning opportunities. 

Now, with the advances in online technology, you can meet new friends with your skill level  online and get coaching too! That's why I started this community. To bring bridge players from all over the world together in a social, education and community setting.

Our education outreach strives to connect with younger teens, high school and college students to make sure computer games are not their only recreation.  

Student Benefits: Studies suggest that playing Bridge can enhance cognitive functions, such as memory, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking. This makes it not only an enjoyable pastime but also a mentally stimulating one.
