2013 Junior Elite Training Squad (JETS) application

Please click on the following link for an application form for the Australia Junior Chess League’s 2013 JETS Training Squad sponsored by Johns-Putra Ltd.

JETS Application Form

The Australian Junior Chess League is pleased to invite applications from talented Australian juniors (U/18) for the national junior training squad.

The JETS Squad is Australia's premier development squad, aimed at encouraging and challenging the next generation of Australian champions. (Past JETS members have gone on to become Grandmasters and International Masters.)

Applicants are judged by enthusiasm and commitment as well as rating, with priority for applicants aged 14 and under.

30 players will be selected, including at least 10 players of each gender.

Eligibility for the Squad will require participation in at least one of the Australian Open Championship (Sydney) or Junior Championships (Gold Coast), in January 2013. (A very small number of exceptions may be made in extenuating circumstances.)

The 30 selected members of the 2013 JETS Squad should commit to attend the national junior training camp, in Sydney from July 3-7, where they will receive free coaching by Grandmasters and International Masters, plus compete in a tournament and a Grandmaster simultaneous exhibition.

Additional half or full day mini-camps, free for JETS Squad members, may be held in other major cities, usually in conjunction with a Grand Prix weekend tournament.

In the first half of the year, JETS Squad members will occasionally be set homework.


NSWJCL Grand Masterclasses

Are you ranked among the top few for your age and gender in NSW?

If so, then you can apply to attend these small-group, high-level training sessions with (only) Grandmaster coaches, including
  • Australia's first Grandmaster Ian Rogers
  • Australian current number one Zong-Yuan Zhao
  • Australian Champion Darryl Johansen
  • plus visiting foreign Grandmasters when available
