PS 130 Chess Club & Team

Welcome to the PS 130 Chess Club & Team. Registration for Chess Club & Team is now open!

Program Vision:

From complete beginners to advancing tournament players, our goal is that all PS 130 players can experience both the joy & significant social/educational benefits of learning and playing chess. Our PS 130 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):

• Knights: 1-2/Social developmental play

• Pawns: K-1, introductory coaching & play

* Each PS 130 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 will meet in the cafeteria directly after-school where they will have a light snack. Training and play will take place in classrooms onsite at PS 130. Pickup will occur at 5 PM in the lobby.

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.

PS 130 will have a weekly opening meeting, where past week’s success is recognized, the upcoming events are emphasized and expectations and team spirit is reinforced.
