Start a Club
Setting up a speech and debate club at your
school is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Lock in a Schedule
2. Advertise and Register
3. Run the Club!
STEP 1: Lock in a Schedule
YOU provide an academic calendar so we can put together an initial proposal.
WE send a service agreement to ensure us and and school are always on the same page.
Once we decide on a program structure that works for you, we’ll move on to step 2.
STEP 2: Advertise and Register
WE make a custom webpage and flyer for your school’s club so that parents will have easy access club information and registration links.

Our typical club structure
may look something like this:
Fall Speech and Debate Club
- For grades 4-8
- No experience necessary to join
- 75 minute sessions
- Once a week after school
- 11 weekly meetings
- $395 per student
Once the minimum registration of 8 students has been
reached, the club is good to move forward to step 3.
STEP 3: Run the Club!
WE provide an instructor from our renowned team who will teach our top-tier curriculum.
YOU provide a classroom for the club to meet in.
WE take it from there! We’ll connect your students with the greater Rose Debate community, giving them access to more resources and opportunities to compete in many of our interschool tournaments.
We work with over 50 schools
Nationwide and every club looks a little different. Some schools have their own registration system, some schools like year-round, semesterly, or trimesterly schedules, some schools require facility fees, some schools work with various age groups… we are amenable to all of these preferences! We stay flexible to be able to provide a bespoke program that will work best for you and your students. Just let us know what you’d like and we will work to make it possible!
