Monthly Rookie Academy
Our April Rookie Academy was a huge success as we welcomed nearly 55 beginners across both our Manhattan and Brooklyn Teams. With players representing teams from across our networks, the number of students starting their competition careers has continued to grow throughout the year.
These events help to maintain momentum through the busy spring tournament season, and keep the players sharp for the national.
As is usual for our Rookie Academy offers a structure lesson about tournament etiquette followed by 2 rounds, G/25 building energy throughout the event as individuals and teams get ready for serious tournament play. These events are designed to prepare our youngest chess players for tournament life.
You can find the full standings below:
See you all next month for the next Rookie Academy on May 6th, or at one of our other events, now that your students are tournament pros!
Well done everyone!
