If you are playing in a rated section USCF membership is required. One year junior scholastic membership is $17 without the magazine and $24 (recommended) if you wish to receive the quarterly magazine Chess Life for Kids. You can register online at https://secure2.uschess.org/webstore/member.php or at the tournament.
Unrated sections do not require USCF membership although USCF rules will be followed. These sections are ideal for someone who is interested in a less competitive environment
