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.
