Description
This class is for all levels of students from New Players (just learning the Pieces) to advanced students who have previous experience and may have even played in organized competition. Students will receive daily instruction and an opportunity to play with other classmates. We will provide information and a location for practice outside of class including access to weekly tournaments outside of class time. Our main focus is for the kids to have fun while learning a new skill. We have a strong emphasis on sportsmanship and healthy competition and a sense of teamwork while we work towards self improvement.
