The National Forensics League Online – This is the mother organization for nearly all debate programs in the U.S. Here you’ll find everything from explanations of debate events, new topics, resources (for competition, teaching, and fundraising), and much more. Please polk around this site whenever you have spare time.
NFL Points – Speech and Debate students are awarded “NFL Points” for competing and winning at tournaments. The more points a student earns, the high the honor they receive (which translates to scholarships if not resume boosters).The National Debate Coach Association (NDCA) – Probably the most useful website for debate preparation. This site has everything a competitor needs: The Debate Wiki (or officially, the NDCA’s National Argument List), The Open Evidence Project, where top debate camps in the nation post all the files they produce, and a Coaching and Teaching Resources page, which is just like it sounds. Exploit this website!
