Classes will be online and will be held over Zoom.

Our goal is to make chess easily accessible for all girls interested in learning. There is no cost for taking classes at FEMchess. All FEMchess officers and coaches are volunteers. However, if you are able, we’d appreciate a small donation to cover our operating costs. The highly suggested donation is $50/Term. There will be 10 classes in each section.

We strictly give group lessons with around 4-8 students per class and one coach.

We accept girls from age 5-17.

They should expect around 8-12 homework problems from their coach each class which are expected to be completed by next class. There will also be tests held to assess progress and allow students to move up levels if necessary.

Classes will be taught using tools like Lichess, chesskid.com, and chess.com just to name a few. Info on our coaches who will be teaching the students can be found on the general coaches tab as well as our head coaches who can be found under the "About" tab.

Anyone with any amount of experience can join. This includes children who have zero experience with chess as well as children who are already well versed in chess and have played competitively for a long time.

You can donate to FEMchess on our "Donate" page! The PayPal link can be accessed by clicking the "Donate" button at the bottom of the page.
