Why Debate?

At Equity Debate, we believe in the power of argumentation. As two current debaters who started the activity in middle school, we both know the crucial life experience and plain old fun the activity brings to kids' lives. Debate isn't just about crafting compelling arguments; it's a dynamic platform that hones your communication skills, boosts confidence, and cultivates a deep appreciation for critical thinking. Engaging in debate refines your ability to articulate ideas clearly, equipping you with a powerful voice in any setting. Debate teaches you how to use online resources effectively and efficiently to find the most credible and worthwhile information for argumentation research and academic assignments. Beyond that, debate teaches teamwork, as you collaborate with fellow debaters to construct well-rounded arguments. It's not just an extracurricular activity but a life skill set. Join us and watch as your confidence soars while you become a master of persuasive discourse. The benefits of debate extend far beyond the classroom, setting you on a path to success in high school, college, and beyond.
