ACTJCL prides itself on providing high quality coaching & development programs for players at all levels.
Children actively taking part in our club and tournament activities are encouraged to nominate for these programs.
ACTJCL Holiday Programs (AKA Bootcamp)
These are high-quality chess-focused programs suited to children seeking more than just a fun school holiday
activity (although we think we offer that as well) – these programs are targeted at children wanting to develop and
improve their game.
Places in each program are limited and book out very quickly!
Programs include a half day coaching session (3x45 min sessions), with highly qualified coacheas and targetted to your childs chess level. A fun 'Blitz' event, wehere each player has only 5 minutes for all their moves!
On Day 2 we run a full day Quickplay event, where each player has 15 mins per games. There are normally 9 to 11 rounds, and is an ideal way to sharpen the skills learned on Day 1.
On Days 3&4 players take part in a serious 6 round event. Each player starts with 60m of thinking time, and each game is recorded. All particioants in this event recieve an Australian Chess Federation (ACF) ID, and can earn an ACF Rating.
There are trophies for each event, and everyone recieves a ribbon. Lunch can be ordered on each day as well. (NB Players can register for 1, 2 or all 4 days!)
