ARGS Speech and Debate would not be able to compete without our fabulous judges.
At every competition, we must provide a judge for that event for every two students who compete. Judging is fun, and gives you an opportunity to hear young people in our region compete. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
The events provide a lounge for judges to relax between rounds, and meals are provided. You will never be expected to judge an event where our students are competing. The National Speech and Debate Association offers free training courses online. Best part: It's really fun!
We are seeking two judges to join us at one or two events a month. Please contact Beth or Emma if intersted.
