If you click on the Gungahlin Junior Chess Club link on the side of this page who will find a link there titled Coaching Resources. Following this link gives you a list of handouts I have prepared this year for the GJCC. As you can see the list is incomplete (although up to date) as I tend to leave it till the last minute to write a sheet. Each sheet covers a single topic and is aimed at players who know the rules, but not a lot more than that.
Although the sheets are directed at students, I intend them to be a coaching resource. Basically they are designed as a 20 minute lesson, where a coach stands up in front of a group of students and waves their arms around. What is important is that while the text may describe an idea or technique it is the coach who explains the concept.
But while I've written them, I'm happy for any chess coach to use them. So if you are looking for a topic to teach a group of chess players, or a blank page in your club newsletter, feel free to take whatever you need.
