Speech
We compete in many different speech events, ranging from impromptu speeches where you are given little time to prepare and give a speech (Impromptu and Extemporaneous Speaking), to TED-talk style prepared speeches (Original Speech Events), to even theater/drama style performances (Interpretation Events).
Debate
We compete in the following Debate formats at most Speech and Debate tournaments: NPDA, IPDA, and NFA-LD.
Volunteer To Help
While only undergraduate students enrolled at UC San Diego can compete on our team, we are still happy to accept help from graduate students, alumni, parents, and other community members! Our program is supported by the University, but we are still always on the lookout for volunteer judges!
