Frequently Asked Questions

My child is a beginner / already has experience.

Our clubs are generally welcoming to both beginner and intermediate level players. Typically, groups are split into two by strength, beginners and intermediates, and each group gets 30 minutes learning with the instructor and also playing with children at their own skill level. This format varies from club to club, but ultimately our goal is to create an environment where junior skill levels are all accommodated.

What do classes typically involve?

As mentioned above, we aim to have classes be a level mix of learning and playing. In the majority of schools we have access to an interactive whiteboard where we do problem solving, game analyses and more.

Can I pay by cash or bank transfer?

Unfortunately, we only accept payment via the official registration page (link to the right of this page) because we handle far too many payments per term to be able to accommodate so many different sources.

What else does my child get?

We have free content for subscribers which you will gain access to after registering. Also, we organise inter-school tournaments which your child will be invited to as a member of one of our clubs.
