PS 184 Chess Club & Team

Welcome to the PS 184 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 184 players can experience both the joy & significant social/educational benefits of learning and playing chess. Our PS 184 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).

• Queens: 900+ USCF

• Rooks: 700+ USCF Intermediate

During regular school dismissal, Grades K-5th students are picked up directly by our Coaching Staff for a light snack in the cafeteria. Team meetings, lessons, training and practice will take place in classrooms onsite PS 184. Chess Dismissal is 5:00 PM directly in front of the school. Must tell us if students are to return to APEX or CMP.

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 184 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.
