Club Opportunities
Chess Club K-6
This year, the K-6 Chess Team will be coached by a RM parent, Johann Ohly. Midwest Chess Academy no longer has a coach that can serve our building, but Johann is a wonderful MVP certified replacement with lots of experience learning and coaching this fascinating game. The club will be offered on Wednesday mornings at 7:10a, from Sept. 11-Dec. 18th.
There is not a fee to join the club. The kids will be working toward competing as a team in three or four competitions during the winter which have a small entry fee. The final competition is the Kansas Scholastic Chess Association State Championships which brings several hundred chess-loving kids from across the state together in March. More details will come from Mr. Ohly regarding registration and fees as these approach. Please utilize the following link https://forms.gle/LEYPCXAp8XGkCxGJ9to sign up for this opportunity.
