Enroll in a Class, Add Intramurals for Less

Enroll in a class and add Intramurals right alongside it, and you'll lock in a lower rate than adding it on later. Pick a class, find your fit, and Spring Fest 2026 is just the next step.

Intramural

A structured introduction to debate designed for high school students interested in argumentation and public speaking.

Why Intramurals

A Simple Way to See Real Progress

Apply What You've Learned

Students step into a live round and put their class training to work in real time — the arguments, the delivery, the on-the-spot thinking. There's no new material to cram and nothing to memorize going in; it's simply a chance to use what they already know against a real opponent, in a real round, the way it's meant to be used.

Get Real-Time Feedback

Coaches and judges score each round the same way they would at any competitive event, then break it down afterward — what landed, what didn't, and what to work on before the next class or the next event. It's specific, it's actionable, and it comes right after the round while everything is still fresh.

See the Growth

Every student walks away with a clear, concrete picture of how far they've come since their last class — not a ranking against other kids, not a win-loss record, but an honest checkpoint on their own progress. It's the difference between hoping you've improved and actually seeing it happen in a live round..

Ready to See How Far You've Come?

Lock in your spot before registration closes. Spots are limited to keep every round personal, coached, and worth showing up for.
