Stanford Invitational Tournament

Thanks for joining us this summer!  Please return to see the dates of our 2022 programs which we anticipate to be available by late 2021.

Forensics (Speech & Debate)

Forensics is the collective term for both speech and debate.  Most tournaments have both speech and debate events, and student commonly "double enter" or "cross enter" and compete in one debate event and one or two speech events at the same tournament.

Our forensics programs are designed to provide a student with an overview of both speech and debate to prepare them for a well-rounded competitive career in middle school and high school forensics.  After attending one of our forensics sessions, students will be familiar with the major skills used in speech and debate, a broad overview of the different events available for competition, and will be equipped to choose which events are of the most interest to them and which they will want to focus on going forward.
