Speech and debate is one of the most powerful activities a high school student could participate in.  When a student participates in speech and debate, they gain skills that will benefit them for a lifetime.  But they don’t attain these skills by themselves.  Every student needs guidance as they develop.  Who will do this vital training?  Coaches, of course!

However, coaches and parents need guidance too. The Coach’s Academy is one way of helping you as you train the next generation of Christian leaders. Through this course, you will learn about all elements of a team policy debate round as well as the individual speech events offered through the LFA. This course is organized into video-based modules which are designed to be taken in order. Make sure to take plenty of notes and enjoy the course!
