Strategy, patience, and mental courage. The Orcas Chess Club builds sharp minds and confident players.
Chess is more than a game — it trains the mind to think ahead, stay calm under pressure, and find creative solutions. Our Chess Club gives every learner the space to develop these skills in a focused and fun environment.
Open to all grades, sessions are relaxed for beginners and competitive for those who want to test their skills against other schools and in regional tournaments.
Open to all Coastal Academy learners. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and your competitive spirit.
Session times confirmed each term. Contact the school for the current schedule.
Sessions are held on campus at Coastal Academy, Pringle Bay. Tournament fixtures may take place at host schools in the Overstrand region.
Learners are entered into regional and inter-school chess tournaments each term. Equipment and transport are arranged by the school.
Want to help grow chess at Coastal Academy? Whether you'd like to coach, sponsor equipment, or just encourage your child to join — we'd love to hear from you.
