Kingston Chess Club welcomes juniors to attend the club, represent the club in matches at the appropriate level, and join as members: as junior members if they are under 16, or full members if they are 16 or over.

The club has a safeguarding policy published here: Safeguarding Policy | Kingston Chess Club. Children under the age of 16 should normally be accompanied on the premises by a parent or other responsible adult when playing. If you are a parent, then you should register membership with the name of the child but use your own email address. The club will never contact a child directly.

Kingston Junior Chess Club (KJCC) meets at the Richard Mayo Centre on Monday evenings during term time at 5.15pm. Structured training and coaching is provided by the Jolly Good Chess Academy, featuring master-led coaching for children aged 6 to 18, catering for everyone from beginners to advanced players.

As Kingston Chess Club’s chosen provider of chess at Kingston Junior Chess, KJCC offers a direct pathway into match play. Those interested will find information and a link to the booking form at www.kingstonjuniorchess.com. Members of KJCC can join Kingston Chess Club at a discounted rate.
