NCFCA NEEDS VOLUNTEERS FOR SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENT IN BRENHAM

  

Volunteers are needed to help judge during a speech and debate tournament next month in Brenham.

Approximately 175 junior high and high school students from across south Texas will participate in the National Christian Forensics and Communications Association (NCFCA) All-Region Qualifier tournament January 7-9 at Blinn College. 

Students will compete in Lincoln-Douglas and team policy debates.  They will also take part in various prepared and limited preparation speech events.

Over 250 community volunteers are needed throughout the three-day event to evaluate students.  The NCFCA says students rely on the judges for valuable feedback for improvement, growth, and encouragement.  Being a judge does not require previous experience in speech or debate.

Judging each round is a three-hour commitment, including 30 minutes for judge orientation, the actual round, and time to fill out the ballot with feedback.  Volunteers can judge as little as one round on one day, or as many as several rounds over all three days.  Complimentary snacks and beverages will be provided.
