What is competitive speech & debate?

A life-changing activity to help your children gain confidence speaking about their faith!

Students compete against each other in different speech categories or with a partner in Defend Your Faith Debate. Competitive speech is similar to other competitive sports. It requires focus and dedication to hard work. It teaches grit!

Students write or prepare for speeches before a tournament. Families can join speech and debate clubs or practice at home with Christian Speech League instructional videos included with your $99 membership fee. Tournaments are held on Saturdays in Glendale, Arizona.

At a tournament, students compete in two rounds. This means your student gives each speech twice at every tournament! The top competitors move on to a third round - finals.

After an awards ceremony, students receive ballots from judges offering suggestions for changes. Students make changes to their speeches or presentational style then return to compete again at the next tournament.

I don't think my child can do those events.

Your child can!

Christian Speech League isn't just for the child/teen you're thinking may be interested or "good at speaking." It's also for the student who is introverted or struggles with anxiety - for anyone who is reluctant to speak in public.

Students can start with just one speech event. With practice, all students can learn to speak confidently!

For ages 12-18!
