The annual Collegiate Bridge Bowl has been instrumental in promoting competitive bridge. Now, we want to bring the joy and benefits of bridge to more schools and students. We can help with bridge supplies, coach stipends, learning materials, online games and more. Do you have any students playing bridge in your school? Would you like to start a bridge club? Do you know a professor or student who could coach a team?The ACBL Educational Foundation and ACBL are partnering to grow bridge on college campuses.
Coaching Program
Work with a team of faculty, students and administrators interested in hosting a college bridge team or club. The coach may also be a local volunteer. Apply here.- The Educational Foundation will provide a bridge kit with cards, bidding boxes, boards, instructor materials, etc., as the program starts.
