👑 Quest For The Crown

Our Mission

 The Big Chair Chess Club Youth Chess League (YCL) is committed to empowering young minds through chess by fostering team spirit, social and emotional learning (SEL), and strategic thinking. Our mission is to build vibrant chess communities that cultivate excellence, sportsmanship, and academic success. We provide mentorship, competitive chess development, and personal growth opportunities, ensuring that each player thrives both on and off the board. Target school group 1st grade to 12th grade, age focus 6 to 18.

Vision

 Our vision is to establish a dynamic and inclusive chess league where every team builds its own unique culture, identity, and spirit. Each team will develop its own branding, including a team name and mascot, represented by a dedicated team coach or parent who fosters leadership and growth. By integrating chess with education, teamwork, and life skills, YCL aims to instill confidence, discipline, and resilience in young players. We envision a future where every school and community has access to high-quality chess training, fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and lifelong learning.
