As part of the After School Learning Program, the Bluegrass Debate Coalition frequently hosts speech and debate events, mostly online, sometimes in-person, to further debate education for our students. We are offering this to the elementary, middle school, and high school students who are enrolled in our after-school debate program. There is no cost to attend!

The BDC’s “Winter Classic“ event is an innovative approach to hosting online speech and debate contests. Competitors from across the Commonwealth of Kentucky will signup for online debates that will take place over the entire month of January (2022). Debaters will meet online, after school, once or twice per week, or possibly meet over a weekend. Special judges and volunteers will host these debates using Zoom. Teams with the best records may be invited to participate in a final round.
