After-School Programs

Chess Bud offer After-School Weekly Programs in Dublin, Westmeath, Kilkenny, Carlow and Waterford.

So how do 1 hour in-person school classes work?
Standard extra-curricular classes last approximately 1 hour. We bring a large demonstration board which takes 2 mins to set-up as well as chessboards and sets that the kids play on during the class. Kids get a 20 minute lesson followed by 30 minutes play and then five minutes at the end to clear up and tidy up. We run competitions from the third week and provide trophies and medals at the end of each term. 

Class Details:
Classes take place according to the school calendar and require a minimum of fourteen enrolled kids to get going up to a maximum of 30 kids per class.
