 This first Training Event for all levels (including novice players) is aimed to provide regular training camps for juniors that want to improve quickly.  There will be several Training dates throughout this and next year – so if you cannot meet this one – do not worry there will be more.

 The importance of quality training  by top coaches cannot be over emphasised in how to quickly improve junior players. It is important that top improving juniors (especially those that play for the county or wish to) attend these training events.

 This gives top players the chance to receive group training from leading Junior coaches from out of the county at a much subsidised rate for a full day’s training. By doing it as a group we can attract the very best coaches.

Yorkshire juniors only. 0nly 60 places available. There will be 3 groups of ability.

IM Jeff Horner to take top group of 12-15 (by grade)

Quotes on web about Jeff ......

"gifted attacking player, arguably the most respected amateur in the North of England. 220 BCF/2300+ for about 30 years"
"his infectious love of chess and the encouraging words he invariably has for opponents"
"a nice guy, and a creative attacking player"

Norman Stephenson will take the middle group of around 20

Former British Senior Champion and coach of numerous British Junior Champions. Norman is the roadie for a crinklie Rock Band so has a different interest outside of chess.

 

A team of Yorkshire ECF & other coaches and leading league players will take small parties of the lower groups.
