If you have never played duplicate, just come a little early and we will walk you through the mechanics. Trust us, it is easy and fun.

 

   
Private or Semi-Private Lessons

We can put together a plan to meet your needs. A popular option is for a group of four players to get together for topics that interest them. Another is for a partnership to work together on bidding or defense.

Contact Dean Panagopoulos to discuss your individual needs.
