New Online Supervised sessions for beginners

October 13, 2025

Following the success of the September trial, Bridge NSW is once again hosting FREE online supervised sessions for beginners 4pm-5:30pm Sundays from 2 November to 7 December.

The September trial of online supervised play attracted up to 40 players from mainly regional clubs, showing how popular these sessions are.

The online sessions are designed to help beginners transition to sessions at their clubs. Ideally, supervised sessions are best attended face-to-face. But for some players that isn’t an option, which is where the online supervised sessions can help. You can read more about online supervised sessions here.

Who can participate?

  • Newer beginners to 18 months of bridge experience welcome. No partner required
  • Individual clubs can run their own table (e.g. 3 or 4 players) and have their own teacher supervise

  • A group of friends or even parents / grandparents / children can have their own table

  • Players still at school are welcome – this is a great platform for them

  • Teachers looking to understand the RealBridge platform and how it can be used in teaching

How do you join?

Players can come along to any or all of these lessons – your choice. There is no need to register. Just turn up and play using the RealBridge links on the Play Online webpage.

If you need help with RealBridge, contact onlinesupervised@bridgensw.com.au.

This time we are also inviting players from Victoria. Working together, both states intend to run more of these sessions in 2026.

Seeking teacher help

Online supervised sessions are not possible without the support of wonderful teachers.

Teachers who are willing to volunteer at some of the sessions can contact onlinesupervised@bridgensw.com.au. Every teacher is a big help.
