SoCal_Bear Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) For those who might be interested, this is the link to the online Homeschool Chess Club. There's early bird registration with is $20 cheaper right now. Additional siblings are $14.50. http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=qbuzdm9ab&oeidk=a07eetgxykh7bd06ad7 A few things to note: 1) You must have a Facebook account or you will not be able to view the classes. 2) You don't have to attend the classes live, they will be archived under the videos section. 3) The club's play occurs on chess.com. It's a private group on the site. I only allow my son to play with other students on there. The user names for the club kids is obvious since he asks everyone to set up their username as HSCCfirstlast. 4) The tournaments are not mandatory. There is a small entry fee as trophies are awarded to the top 10% finishers. Those are Wed and Sat...All listed times are MST. 5) Coach Phil loves jazz, so expect jazz at the beginning of every lesson. He also likes to use sound effects like audience laughter, applause. It would annoy me to no end, but my son thinks it is super funny. Edited December 13, 2017 by calbear 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaleSprouts Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Thanks for breaking this out and posting the info, I appreciate the details about how the club is run - especially since I don't have a facebook account! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASHomeschooler Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 What level is this targeting? Not that I know how to quantify levels, but my son was really disappointed to not learn anything in the local school-based chess club after we moved and I haven't had any luck finding any others. I guess he's intermediate - would he get anything out of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal_Bear Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 I think you probably should email Coach Phil directly about your questions. You can reach him at: Phil Cradle <homeschoolchessclub@gmail.com> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
