We have modified the Membership Levels tab above to accommodate the three most often selected enrollment options: One new student, one returning student or returning students who are siblings. Please select the one that precisely meets your enrollment needs.

Caution: Unless you have used this site before, you must select a membership option and then complete the form as it does two things: 1-creates a login ID/Password 2-completes the purchase and triggers the enrollment confirmation message.

If you have any other combination you will need to enroll you student in person on Sunday. Please us with any questions at jaxchessclub@gmail.com.

Now in our 4th year, our Sunday training program is for youth members of the Jacksonville Chess Club. It has shown itself to be outstanding for preparing kids to the best chess players in North Florida and beyond. New student prices are higher to ensure we equip them with the resources proven to jumpstart their learning and love of the game. Our coaches are tournament level players or long time chess teachers with years of working with kids. Our program leader inspires students to excel at chess, school and life. Just as important as learning chess, our kids end up being friends and often are the friendly faces found at local, state or national events. Come join us. Spaced is limited. Program enrollment is found on our membership levels page.
