Georgia Chess Association offers the least expensive way to join the United States Chess Federation! Scholastic memberships are $20 when purchased directly from USCF, but we’ve used our bulk rate to get the prices down to $10. Scholastic memberships are valid for players under 21 years of age.
Each membership is good for 12 months from the time of the activation. USCF memberships are required to participate in USCF rated tournaments.
