How a season works
Play
The club plays an hour a week through the season, against similarly skilled players at peer schools, right from campus.
Playoffs
Each season ends in the playoffs: a winner-take-all tournament crowns the champion.
Who does what
The school
Provide a space, devices and a teacher to supervise for an hour a week. No chess knowledge needed: we’ll help keep your kids learning, including through our games.
Rookly
We run the League: pairings, scheduling, live spectating, standings and the playoffs, on a platform built with student safety and privacy in mind. Avatars, emojis and school pride give kids room to express themselves. Need a coach? We can help find one.
“Rookly keeps the kids engaged… It’s quickly becoming the highlight of the week for many and driving our club membership to record levels!”
“I love the spectating mode! It’s sleek, easy to use, and I love that I can flip through games without having to back out.”

Subject: Our chess club and the Rookly School League
Right now our club only gets to compete when we can travel to another school and line up a schedule.
I came across the Rookly School League, which would let us play peer schools online for an hour a week, right from campus.
Any teacher can supervise, with no chess experience needed.
