I run an inner city compassion center in Denver and am interested in starting a chess club for the kids ages 5 - 12 to start with.  Is there a way that I can get the kids registered and playing with discounted prices?  We have a computer lab so they can play.  What else would we need?

Scott, I don't know how you could get them registered and playing with discounted prices, but why not have them play real life chess?

I find used chess sets at Thrift Stores all the time.  I buy them and use them for our chess club.

What do you mean registered?  With chess.com or USCF?

A good idea is to find a reasonably strong player in your area, who has good people skills, who would be willing to come and do some coaching.

Scott,

We are interested in sending my son (almost 5 year old) to start with a chess club like the one you are thinking.  Do let us know if you can get it started.

Thanks.

 Oh, I see.  Good luck.  Let us know if you find out something helpful.  Teaching kids chess is a big priority for me as well!  Leslie

Is there anyone who would be interested in organizing a chess tournament at our site in Denver CO to help us raise funds for our after-school programs for inner-city kids?  Let me know what you know by replying to this post. Thanks... Pastor Scott
