Teaching and developing new players is an important component of the RACV Bridge Club. This award seeks to foster and encourage all of its Bridge students, with each year identifying, acknowledging, and rewarding the most improved player or partnership developing through the supervised series of lessons.

The award winner/s will be selected by the judgement and discretion of the instructing supervisor.  Players’ performance will be monitored throughout the year for consistent improvement via participation over a number of key areas:

• Attitude: Desire to learn and improve, and growing confidence in capabilities
• Knowledge: Advancement in understanding and application
• Behaviour: Courteous and respectful to partner and all other players
• Results: Noticeable improvement of performance
