Although no formal bridge classes are currently offered by the Carson Tahoe Bridge Unit, Gardnerville game Director Glen Rowe provides handouts and tips during practice sessions from 10 a.m. to noon on Wednesdays at the Carson City Senior Center. The Carson City game follows at 1 p.m. Those attending both the practice sessions and the ACBL-sanctioned game have the option of dining in the senior center cafeteria for lunch between noon and 12:30 before the game starts at 1 p.m.

The nearby Reno club, which is in a different ACBL unit, offers both lessons and practice sessions. Full information can be found at their website, www.renobridge.com (click on Reno Bridge Academy or Lessons).
