Why join a speech and debate club when you can study these subjects on your own?

Because...

• Speech and debate are activities that thrive on community. Club members sharpen each other, providing crucial feedback to improve their script writing and delivery.
• Clubs hire former champions as coaches far more affordably than you can hire them on your own. (and those champions have all attended a club for many years)
  
• Mastering speech and debate requires long practice and real competition, neither of which you'd get at home.
• At tournaments, you will see speeches that will blast the socks right off your feet! Your students will be inspired to work hard so they can do the same.
• The friends, fun, and memories--you must experience these for yourself.
