Players meet the coaches directly after-school where they receive a light snack and have a team meeting. Instruction and play will occur in Brooklyn Prospect IES classes onsite. Pick-up will occur at 5:00 PM directly in front of the school.
Lateral movements will occur, as we experiment with class grouping and activities to identify the optimal training opportunities for our players. Players will be promoted throughout the season as coaches feel fit.
A high emphasis on participation, engagement and self-study will be placed on our team groups.
Brooklyn Prospect IES will have a weekly opening meeting, where past weeks success is recognized, the upcoming events are emphasized and expectations and team spirit is reinforced.
Program leadership will ensure a single thread of Brooklyn Prospect IES team spirit and standards in each class. Coaches will get to know each player in the program and be able to speak on each ones strengths and weaknesses as their relationship with the program evolves over time.
We want each player in our weekly training to feel connected to the program and enjoy pride in the program. Recognizing collective success is encouraged and serves as inspiration to players from all classes and groups.
* Even as we continue to grow our program and competitive team, there remains the opportunity for more social, less competitive play as well.
We will continue to welcome all students and find the right balance for each and every one. We want everyone to engage with the chess program at their comfort level, where the entire student body can enjoy the great benefits of this incredible game.
*Each Brooklyn Prospect IES program member will receive a team shirt and a www.chesskid.com gold membership.
Team Competitions:
Our Brooklyn Prospect IES Team will compete at local, City, State & National competitions.
