About the Organization

The Virginia Association of Forensics, Theatre and Debate Coaches is dedicated to supporting coaches of these activities in public, private, and parochial schools throughout Virginia through education, recognition, and support. Our goal is to promote these activities and provide professional development to our member coaches. The VAFTDC provides support, mentoring, camaraderie and, in conjunction with the Virginia High School League, an opportunity to attend the rules clinics for each activity.
