At FD Academy, we don’t see chess and basketball as separate disciplines — we see them as two sides of the same coin. Whether you’re making a fast break or sacrificing your queen, both require:
Strategic Thinking
Pattern Recognition
Mental Agility
Focus Under Pressure
Resilience After Loss
We bring the same coaching philosophy, standards, and passion from our basketball courts to our chessboards — developing sharp thinkers and confident decision-makers.
FD Chess Academy sessions are held in partnership with schools, community venues, and local clubs — just like our basketball training. We also offer private coaching and online chess classes, making it easier to train anywhere.
FD Academy is more than just a training center — it’s a mindset. Whether it’s the court or the board, we train young minds to think, act, and grow.
