The California Youth Chess League is a Santa Clarita-based non-profit organization that teaches chess throughout Southern California. Since 1996, CYCL has grown from a small chess club to an organization that provides chess instruction to over 1,000 students each year. Besides before and after school chess programs, CYCL's spacious center allows us to offer evening classes, private lessons at our chess center, day camps, Thursday Night Chess Club, monthly chess tournaments, chess mystery night, ice cream night, Teen Night, Birthday parties and more!
