Together We Can Grow Backgammon in Schools!

Are you already running a school backgammon club, thinking about starting one, or interested in helping students learn? Let's bring our knowledge, resources, and enthusiasm together.

There's a place for you

Three ways to get involved

You don't need to do everything. Your experience, curiosity, or willingness to teach can make a difference.

01

I already run a school club

Connect with other organizers, share what works, and help build a network of school backgammon programs.

02

I'd like to start a club

Find ideas, guidance, and people who can help you explore a club at a school near you.

03

I'm interested in helping with instruction

You don't have to organize a club. Share your backgammon knowledge, teaching materials, or time as a mentor.

More than a game

Lessons From the Board

Backgammon offers students opportunities to practice strategy, problem-solving, resilience, sportsmanship, and thoughtful decision-making.

Our goal is to connect people who can introduce these experiences in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, colleges, and universities.

Life, like backgammon, is about choices, adaptation, resilience, and finding joy in the journey.

Let's find each other and build this together.

Tell us a little about your experience and how you'd like to participate. We'll use this information to connect organizers, educators, volunteers, and people seeking assistance.

Whether you have an established club or simply want to help teach, we'd love to hear from you.

About communication: The form includes separate consent options for organizational email updates and text messages. You can choose whether to opt in.

Better together. One roll at a time.

Help us connect the people who are already doing this with the people who are ready to begin.
