Vegas Great Knights

The Vegas Great Knights look to develop social and life skills in addition to mental and emotional ones. All members of the Vegas Great Knights are part of a team. They have a chance to meet and play with other members of the team at various group meet-ups we organize such as our chess and hockey event. We also have team shirts and jerseys that members proudly wear with last names on the back.

Our highly skilled instructors pass background checks and are tested not only for their chess and teaching abilities but for their attitude and how it will translate to our member's experience.

“Our passion is teaching chess to children who want to learn the game, have fun, be part of a positive team, and cultivate valuable life skills.”
