Someone told me about this yesterday -- so I looked it up. Pretty interesting. I'm glad that Bridge is getting more ambitious. With every announcement like this, the SCYSA "50% players in district" rule looks increasingly ridiculous...Bridge FA Offers USSDA Training in Greenville & Myrtle Beach to U15-U18 Players
