CHESS

Yorkville-Recommended Chess Program:

Dear Families,

Yorkville Youth Athletic Association is very excited to have made a special discovery.

New York City Chess Inc. makes the critical game of chess fun for all levels of play. Through thoughtful, fun and intelligent instruction and competition for appropriate ages, they are able to engage and command interest and joy from all participants, on a level I have not seen before.

Chess is an excellent addition to athletics and education as it helps stimulate the mind and improve areas such as critical thinking, analytical abilities, and concentration. In fact Chess is required Curricula in over 30 Countries and increasingly in the U.S.A, Colleges and Universities are actually offering Chess Scholarships.

New York City Chess Inc has figured out how to teach this timeless game in a fun way that will give our Children a necessary edge.

Please take a look at the 2 programs that Yorkville is highly recommending for each and every one of our children, regardless of their previous experience with the game.

Yorkville Youth Athletic Association and yyaa.org are not affiliated with ChessNYC and chessnyc.com.
