Youth Chess Memberships

Youth classes at the Chicago Chess Academy are available exclusively to active CCA Youth Members. Families need to choose one of our monthly youth memberships before booking chess classes. Membership options include access to 4 classes, 8 classes, or unlimited youth chess classes each month, depending on the selected plan. Students can attend the class level that best suits their experience, and coaches may recommend a different level after evaluation to ensure proper placement for each student.

Special Feature: SenseRobot Chess Training

Students in Coach’s Circle Chess may be selected for guided SenseRobot training. This advanced chess technology allows students to practice independently, enhance their decision-making skills, and enjoy a unique hands-on training experience. Participation is based on coach approval, student readiness, and availability; access is not guaranteed with class enrollment.

Our Saturday Chess Academy offers a specialized weekend program for families who prefer Saturday chess classes or are unable to attend the weekday programs at the Chicago Chess Academy. Students benefit from structured chess instruction, guided practice, puzzles, and supervised play in a fun and supportive learning environment.

*Please note that Saturday classes are not included in the Monday–Friday CCA Youth Membership plans. Students must register separately for the Saturday Chess Academy.

Bookings may be adjusted if they do not align with the active memberships on file at the Chicago Chess Academy. Please schedule only the number of chess classes included in your youth memberships plan. There is no separate annual membership fee required at this time. The Saturday Chess Academy operates as a separate weekend program and is not included in our Monday–Friday CCA Youth Membership plans. Students enrolled in weekday memberships must register separately for Saturday classes, which are ideal for families who prefer weekend instruction or cannot attend weekday classes.
