This year, we will be offering online registration for the MSCC for the 2014-15 school season. See the red button on the upper-right hand corner of our MuskegoChess.com web site!
There will be a $20 per student fee which covers class, and materials use, for the full year. Classes will start October 1st and will be held Wednesdays during the school year from 6:30-8:00pm in the Muskego High School cafeteria.
The Muskego Scholastic Chess Club is a self-funded, volunteer-run organization devoted to introducing K-12 kids in the Muskego-Norway school district to the amazing and enlightening game of chess. For questions, email Dan Schantz at Dschantz3@gmail.com

Another year of High School conference chess begins!
While it's interesting to see that we have a good chance in our conference and maybe even the championship this year, I'm just as excited about our next "crop" of kids coming up in the wings!
It's great so see so many kids who will be ready to jump into the high school team once our successful Muskego Chess pioneers (Jason, Reid, Evan, Rachel, Kolt, Sam, etc) have graduated!
In addition to some strong 8th and 9th graders (Bognars, Brian, etc), we have several 6th and 7th graders who have shown a lot of potential and interest in chess - players like Aaron, Kyle, Willow, Matthew, Will, Nick, David, Noah, Bill, Kenny, Kolton, Anoushka, Alyssa, Mitchell, Makayla and more!
The high school team every week plays against other high schools - the top 10 available players will get an "official" board, and others are welcome to play practice matches. The Top 5 rated players every year play for the state Varsity championship!
High School Conference matches start sometime in November, and the state championship is in April at UW-Oshkosh.
Who will step up in the next couple of years to continue our tradition of high school chess?
