Everyone plays chess! Whether experienced player or never played before, Chess Club is for boys and girls who want to learn how to play. Must be willing to listen to chess instruction and participate by playing/watching in 60-minute Chess Club meetings. Other strategy games (like checkers & Connect Four) will also be utilized in Chess Club. Real boards will be used and augmented by (optional) online learning and (optional) tournament play (additional cost may be required). Chess clocks, chess notation, and multi-media will be used. Will you be the first SCCS Chess Club champion?
