Our chess clubs are typically one hour long, with a 20-25 minute chess lesson, tailored to the skill level of the participants.  The students spend the next 30-35 minutes practicing what they learned and playing chess with each other.  We provide all the equipment, and our chess coaches are thoroughly background checked.
