Want to coach a college team? We’ll fund you!

The ACBL Educational Foundation and the American Contract Bridge League are partnering to grow bridge on college campuses. We want to bring the joy and benefits of bridge to more schools and students. We’ll help with bridge supplies, coaching stipends and free ACBL first year Junior Memberships. 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.

ACBL can provide a bridge kit with cards, bidding boxes, boards, instructor materials, etc., as the program starts. Receive a stipend of $350 at the end of each semester (annual total = $700), after a brief progress report is approved. Aim at recruiting 10 students in the first three months. All participants should be ACBL members (we’ll refund the membership fee for new members under 26). Identify student leaders to assist with club formation, recruitment and scheduling.
