Players are picked up by our Coaching Staff directly after-school where they have a team meeting. Instruction and play will occur in PS 184 classes onsite. Pick-up will occur at 5:00 PM directly in front of the school unless students are registered for APEX or CMP.
Lateral classroom movements will occur, as we experiment with class grouping and activities to identify the optimal training opportunities for our players. Also players may be promoted throughout the season as coaches feel fit.
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.
Program leadership will ensure a single thread of PS 184 team spirit and standards in each class. Coaches will get to know each kid in the program and be able to speak on each one’s strengths and weaknesses as their relationship with the program evolves over time.
Each group’s coaches will also track and monitor both their USCF and Chesskid ratings weekly, helping to guide and motivate them along the way.
Program leaders will also work to guide the coaches; the expectation is that each class will be progressive and coaches will provide a productive session, each and every week.
*Each PS 184 program member will receive a team shirt and a www.chesskid.com Gold membership.
Team Competitions:
Our PS 184 team will compete at Local, City, State & National competitions.
