Practice, preparation, and frequent tournament participation are essential to perform competitively. Every student will improve with experience. The team currently plans to participate in at least one debate tournament each month, September through January. Each student agrees to attend two tournaments by joining the team. A student may be dismissed from the team at the coach’s discretion if the person is not participating regularly. The selection of competitors for competitions may depend upon each student’s degree of preparation and demonstrated abilities to perform. Coach Bellamy may also prioritize tournament participation for students according to their registration date for an event.
