DebateAble Tournaments provide exciting and unique opportunities for elementary students to participate in inter-school debates. Debaters are teamed with members of their club and debate a prepared topic. Each team participates in two rounds, arguing the Affirmative in one and the Negative in the other. Scores are tabulated and awards are presented at the conclusion to the highest scoring teams and individuals. All debaters receive a Certificate of Excellence for the skills and courage they demonstrate by presenting their arguments in a public setting.

We hope you had fun today! We had so much fun watching you present your speeches, support eachother and refute!
Before you leave this page tonight, we want to ask you to do us a favor. We worked together to make our meetings together and the tournament a success for everyone in our first online session. It would mean so much to us if you, parent and debater, would each take a few moments to give us some feedback by sharing your opinions about your club and today's competition.
Thank you in advance for using your voices to let us know what you think about DebateAble in these short surveys:
