MSSA's Annual South African Schools National Championships - 15 & 16 June 2019

Scenes from 2018 school events.

Mind Sports South Africa's (MSSA) South African Schools' National Championships is the perfect start for players to launch themselves into top level competition.

Many of South Africa's top players who have represented South African Protea teams in international competition have come through the ranks at such South African Schools' National Championships.

MSSA is proud of its reputation of promoting youth in its national teams, and as a result, most of MSSA's teams that have represented South Africa have had a component of players that were learners who were still in High School.

Thus it should be noted that such South African Schools' National Championships not only counts towards players earning Provincial and National Colours, but also counts towards MSSA's selection process.

All gamers are reminded that MSSA's South African Schools' National Championships are an open championship. In other words any registered player, who is currently a registered learner, is entitled to enter the championship – no matter where they live.
