Our teams comprise a diverse group of students across demographic factors. We have students from all over the United States, from 7th graders just learning debate to 12th graders who are consistently championing prestigious tournaments. Our students are primarily interested in Lincoln-Douglas (LD) and Public Forum (PF) debate. We separate out students into sub-groups based on their events, age, interests, and skill levels to facilitate targeted learning.

Every year, we purposefully accept 3-4 novices. We have worked hard create a team atmosphere where more experienced debaters have the opportunity to also work with less experienced debaters since teaching is the best form of learning. We are confident you will be pleasantly surprised by how approachable all of the “good” debaters on the Club Teams are, and how much you learn through the year. We strongly encourage you to join even if you think you are not good enough—the whole point of the Club Team is to help you get better!
