Represent England through bridge
Travel the world playing your favourite game
Bridge is a game you can enjoy for life, but it can also open doors to opportunities far beyond your local club or school.
Each year, young players from England compete in international events across Europe and around the world, representing their country against the best junior players from dozens of nations.
More than competition
Representing England is about much more than winning medals.
Young players gain confidence, teamwork skills and independence while becoming part of an international community. Many remain friends with players from other countries long after the final board has been played.
A truly international game
From European Championships to World Championships, junior bridge events bring together players from every continent. Recent championships have taken place in destinations such as Italy, China, Poland, the Netherlands and Croatia.
For many young players, bridge provides opportunities to travel, experience different cultures and build friendships that last a lifetime.
The pathway starts close to home
Most England internationals began in exactly the same way as everyone else:
- Learning bridge at school or in a local club
- Taking part in youth camps and training events
- Playing in school and junior competitions
- Joining development squads and representative teams
There is no single route to international bridge, but every journey begins with learning and enjoying the game.
Could this be you?
Whether you're just starting out or already playing regularly, there are opportunities to develop your game through youth camps, competitions and training events.
