Help us make speech and debate accessible.

Unlike other leagues, students will never be turned away.

The Speech & Debate community is notorious for gatekeeping, charging exorbitant fees to participate and leaving behind students who can’t afford the hefty tuitions. We provide affordable access to coaching and competitions for all students looking for quality Speech & Debate programming.
