New Prague Area Community Education

Youth Enrichment League follows the trademark Teach It! Practice It! Play It!® methodology 

• Teach It! – Each class the our coaches teach a new chess lesson or concept, during the Teach It! portion of class. The Teach It! portion of class almost feels like a game show with students eager to raise their hands and answer questions.
• Practice It! – During the Practice It! portion of class, students are given chess puzzles to solve on their own or in small groups. Or they may be given a chess position to practice with fewer chess pieces.
• Play It! – Kids love to play chess, so during the Play It! portion of class, we reserve 20-30 minutes of time to play against other students. We pair students based on age and ability and try to switch opponents as often as possible.
