PS 166 Chess Club & Team
Welcome to the PS 166 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 PS 166 players can experience both the joy & significant social/educational benefits of learning and playing chess. Our PS 166 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):
Advanced coaching & tournament play
Intermediate coaching & social and tournament style developmental play
Introductory coaching & social developmental play
