2018 Fall Training Program (Ended!)

JAXCC Chess Development Program for youth club members

Our program is one of the best for developing solid beginner to intermediate level youth players. Last semester we had 60 kids enrolled and ended with a 60 player tournament.

Our goal is to present chess in a way that creates a love for the game and skills improvement in every player. Along the way, many of them become "chess buds" who socialize and get together away from chess. Our US Chess Certified instructors are great with kids and are tournament players themselves. Our kids continue to astound us with winning performances at local, state and national tournaments. See images from last month's National Tournament 

Three of our students placed high in the National Elementary Championship held in Nashville earlier this year. We're very proud of these little guys. They've honed their toughness in our Sunday program, local and state tournaments.

 

Our training features skill based sections for focused player development from absolute beginners to our top group of seasoned tournament players rated near 1000 USCF. Our staff of USCF Certified Coaches and solid tournament players understand how to help your player grow quickly in skill and confidence. 

All students receive chess bundles
Five of our girls are in the Top 100 for their age group. Prinathi is one of them.

Our staff  of five features over 30 years of chess teaching experience. US Chess Certified players, coaches and tournament directors who know how the game is played. We have coached most of the best players in Jacksonville and have fun doing it. 

Our coaches are players too.

Our students have fun while being challenged to approach the game with enthusiasm and the expectation to do their best at every encounter. Our students have embraced competing at national, state and local chess tournaments and have placed in all three. We're very proud of them, but mostly for making friendships with other chesskids and that means they have friends at every event they attend. This makes a big difference in staying with a program. You go where your friends go and their friends are chess players.
