Ursuline Academy Athletic Camps and Clinics are designed to provide the female student-athletes in our community with a foundation of fundamental skills, knowledge, character and leadership development, plus a love for athletics. Recognizing that while skills and drills are critical to the improvement of an athlete, making the sport FUN is essential to developing the “passion for the game.” With several different choices, we hope that athletes take advantage of the wide variety of athletic opportunities and register for multiple camps/clinics. This type of cross-training not only helps to develop overall athleticism; it keeps sports fresh and exciting. Every camp/clinic at Ursuline Academy is directed by the head coach in that sport. In addition, the assistant coaches, along with current and former top performers from the program, work with the athletes to make sure they have the fundamentals, focus, and fun to improve their games.

Chess Summer Camps are the perfect way to introduce the game of chess to new students, deepen understanding of the game for established players, or offer intensive instruction for aspiring chess masters. Grandmaster instructors provide daily lessons, puzzles, and play to help guide students through each session.

Instruction offers a solid basic foundation, emphasizing the fundamental skills needed to begin a lifetime of learning in chess, including:

• Proper piece and board set-up
• Algebraic Notation (Chess Language)
• Basic Principles of Play

Grandmasters then provide expert instruction building on these skills and covering more advanced ideas, including:

• Tactics
• Strategy
• Middlegame Planning
• Endgame Technique

Each camp provides opportunities to practice these skills in a variety of activities and workshops with classmates under the observation of a Grandmaster and experienced Chess Instructors from the Chess Club.
