Each club's events calendar has the latest dates.
Tournaments and events
Both clubs run USCF-rated tournaments for competitive players, along with community events: special events, simuls and themed chess nights.
Every tournament goes on its club's own events calendar, and each event's page carries its entry fee, time control and registration details. Basic members get 15% off tournament entries.
You need a US Chess membership to play in a rated tournament; you can join at uschess.org. Casual games at a club night need no membership of any kind.
Group coaching
The clubs organize group coaching sessions to help you improve your game. Basic members attend free, and Community members pay a small fee. Basic membership also includes occasional group coaching with a Master.
New sessions are posted on each club's Group Coaching page as they open for booking.
Membership
You do not need a membership to play on club night. Membership is for players who want more, and it is good at both clubs: join at the club closest to you, and one account signs you in at either site.

WilCo Chess Club has a Lichess team and a Chess.com club, and both are open to join.
Young players
We welcome players of all ages. Youth players must be accompanied by a parent or guardian: our clubs meet in public venues, and club night is not a drop-off program. Families are welcome.
