Each summer, we host a free summer camp for all current and incoming speech and debate students. Varsity members and new team members (debate 1 students) are strongly encouraged to attend this camp to get a start on the season. We play games, learn new skills, start preparing for competition, and the team gets to know each other! Snacks will be provided.

Details (dates and times) will be shared by mid-May. Anderson is undergoing construction this summer and we are waiting to hear about availability from our administration.

Our Generous Sponsors

Tournaments

Support the Team

The Anderson Speech and Debate Team is a large, inclusive team open to any Anderson High School student. To ensure that every student has the opportunity to participate at the highest levels, the Anderson Speech and Debate Booster Club and our generous Business Sponsors bridge the gap between the costs of entering and participating in tournaments and what families are able to contribute through team fees.

In addition to financial contributions, volunteering one’s time through serving as a judge or driving a carpool on tournament weekends can make a significant contribution to the team.
