Brooklyn Prospect IES Chess Club & Team

Welcome to the Brooklyn Prospect IES Chess Club & Team Registration for the Chess Club & Team is now open!

Program Vision:

From complete beginners to advancing tournament players, our goal is that all Brooklyn Prospect IES players can experience both the joy & significant social/educational benefits of learning and playing chess. Our Brooklyn Prospect IES Team will prepare for local, City, State & National Competitions.

Our in-person programming will match players into groups based on skill, interest level & age. This allows coaches to identify and create the right training environment for each player (complete beginner - advanced competitors).

ICN class groupings (subject to change based on program enrollment):

• Kings: 400+ USCF

• Queens: U400 USCF players with an eye towards competition

• Knights: Social developmental play

• Pawns: K-1, introductory coaching & play

* Each Brooklyn Prospect IES program member will receive a team shirt and a www.chesskid.com gold membership.

• We will continue to follow all protocols as outlined by the NYC DOE regarding in person programming.

Players meet 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.
