You can either fill in the form on your first visit to the club, or you can register online. On October 27, at Danforth, kids of all ages will drive in from San Antonio, Austin, and all over the Hill Country to play chess with other kids. Let's work toward getting together a team from each of the schools here so that Wimberley will not only host this event but walk away with some trophies. Every week, we try to have have a short talk about some important theme in chess. We are trying to put together a team to represent Wimberley in the scholastic tournament we are hosting this semester.
Scholastic tournaments are only open to school-aged kids, and are split into grade levels.
If you participate in one of these events, you will only be playing kids close to your own age. If you want to sign up to be on the team, be sure to do so at the club. You don't have to be a great player to play in a tournament. But to be on the team, you must be willing to work. Dr. Skipper, the chess coach, will be working individually with each team member to get him or her ready for a tourmanent.
