PROGRAMS:
We are looking to remove all obstacles and barriers RGV students face, both on and off the board.
SPONSORED SCHOOL INTIATIVE
Our school sponsorship’s, offer local businesses the opportunity to invest into the future of the RGV, by helping support local schools develop and maintain a chess program. This allows students who would have never had the opportunity to play a chance, as well as help find undiscovered talent in the Rio Grande Valley.
SCHOOL COACHING ASSISTANCE
Even if your school currently has a chess program or coaching and training assistance is designed to provide schools and coaches with a structured curriculum to help your team improve!
FIDE INFINITE CHESS PROJECT
Not all barriers and obstacles are financial. This is why we are partnering up with organizations like TEAM MARIO as well as some local ABA’s to bring the INFINITE CHESS PROJECT to the Valley! We are the second organization in the entire U.S. to partner with FIDE to help teach chess to children with Autism!
COMPETITION FUNDRAISING
The biggest hurdle most chess families face is raising money for tournaments outside the Rio Grande Valley. However, by consolidating every family into one voice, we are seeking to get more attention and funding to ALL Valley kids looking to compete.

We are proud to be part of the FIDE Infinite Chess Project, a global initiative that uses chess as a powerful tool to support children with Autism.
