Young bridge players enjoy challenging competition and good food at the monthly Silicon Valley Youth (SiVY) Bridge party.
All levels of experience are welcome
Youth players choose between:
- Basic lessons for those new to the game
- Chicago style (shuffle/deal) with table helpers for players who want to improve their skills
- Tournament for experienced players to compete for master points
Pizza and snacks provided. Prize drawings for fun gi!ts.
Aspiring bridge players ages 10-25 are welcome. Youth younger than 10 may be allowed to attend on a case-by-case basis with parental supervision.
Upon arrival the kids play casually and enjoy snacks. After pizza is served, experienced players either enter a mini-tournament or continue playing for fun, with helpers to teach them more about bridge. Brand new players are taught the basics of the game, learning as they play.
Prizes are awarded to the winners of the mini-tournament and a raffle makes everyone eligible to win other prizes.
Near the end of each party, dessert is served, while tournament winners are announced and prizes are awarded.
The SiVY monthly events are held to provide kids from our after school classes a chance to meet aspiring players. They are also a great way for kids who have learned from adult family to play bridge with other young people.
Pizza Parties are totally free to attend, but you must sign up in order to join the fun.
