2026 Southeast Massachusetts Scholastic Chess League

This Scholastic Chess League is a team scholastic chess competition that runs from March through April 2026.

The league runs similarly to any other scholastic sports program - there is a set competition season and a tournament at the end of the season where trophies are awarded.


The season is 6-8 weeks long (depending on the number of teams), plus two weeks for makeup matches.


At the end of the season, there will be a ceremony where we hold a blitz tournament for fun and present trophies to the top teams.


There are two divisions:

  • Under 9 (U9)
    Ages 5-8 may play in the U9 division.


  • Under 14 (U14)
    Ages 9-13 may play in the U14 division.


SENECA administrators will place the players on the teams, ensuring an even distribution of levels. Teams will consist of 3-5 players, all within the same division. The top three players from each team play on the Varsity boards, the remainder of the team plays on the Junior Varsity boards.


All matches will be held at the Bellingham Memorial School Library on Wednesdays from 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm through March and April of 2026.


Registration closes on March 1st.
