Inspiring Youth Development Through Chess
Join us in making a difference! Legacy Institutes mission is to leave a legacy for minority children, empower future generations, and advance the African-American community in various aspects of life.
In this session, the game of chess is their focus. Playing chess will lighten their mind and brighten their future. Join us in this effort and be a part of creating a brighter future for generations to come. We will be holding this tournament on Saturday, February 3, 2024, for the opening round.
The semi-final round will be on Saturday, February 10, 2024, and the final round on Saturday, February 17, 2024, at The Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club, 2901 N. Grand Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63107 at 11AM. Little league has ages 7-10, junior varsity 11-13, and varsity 14-18.
In the Legacy Institute Chess Program, we saw the youth’s excitement to play chess every week. We wanted to create a program that occurs three times a year in the winter, summer, and fall where our youth can compete in the game of chess to bring the same excitement that our parents have for our youth in sports arenas and put that towards the education of the mental sport of chess.
We aim to turn chess into a lifestyle, not just a one-time occurrence. We also offer prizes to the winning teams. We have decided to collaborate with other organizations in the community that share the same thoughts and passion to make this happen.
The National Society of Black Engineers and other organizations are helping create this positive lifestyle. For additional information visit our website at https://www.legacyinstitutestl.org/ or contact:
