This winter, why not introduce your child to the exciting and rewarding world of chess? At the OGRCC, our youth chess program makes learning this timeless game fun and educational, providing kids with essential skills they can carry for a lifetime.

Why Chess? 

Sharpen Their Minds – Chess is often called “exercise for the brain”—and it’s true! Kids learn to strategize, think critically, and solve problems while building memory and concentration skills. These mental tools help them succeed in chess and boost their performance in school and everyday situations.

Build Character for Life – There’s more to chess than just moving pieces; it teaches children patience, resilience, and sportsmanship. Through victory and defeat, kids grow stronger, learning to handle challenges and adapt to tough situations. These are lessons they’ll carry far beyond the chessboard.

Unplug and Connect – Chess offers an engaging, tech-free alternative. Step away from digital distractions and enjoy real human interaction while developing focus and mindfulness. It’s the perfect indoor activity for chilly winter days!

Fun for All Skill Levels – Whether your child is completely new to chess or playing their way to becoming a grandmaster, the OGRCC youth chess program has something for everyone. With expert instruction and a friendly, supportive environment, kids can learn, grow, and make new friends.

This winter, watch your kids learn to think ahead, one move at a time.
