Milwaukee Debate League

Middle School Program

Try out a sport for your brain. You can get a taste of the challenge and reward of building a case for or against an idea. If you have ever disagreed with a friend over the virtues of a song or movie, you have already experienced debate.

High School Program

Our high school debate program offers the chance for you to prove that you know your stuff, inside and out. Not used to convincing others of your views on an issue? We have strategies that can make it happen.

Summer Debate Camp

Join the crew each summer for a jam-packed experience of debate fundamentals and research. You will learn the ropes of digging into a topic and presenting your view to others.

Tournaments

Our league hosts tournaments each year where you’ll hang out with the best debaters around and gain your own confidence competing against them. Then one day you’ll realize that you ARE one of them.

VOICES

Debate has allowed me to gain a global mindset that goes beyond what is taught from a textbook.

Morgan ColemanDebater, Rufus King

Debate is not just an activity, it is a lifestyle. It is a way of thinking and living your life that alters your very being and shapes your entire world view.

Stephanie KingDebate Coach, Rufus King

It’s very rewarding to watch our debaters develop confidence and poise as a result of our efforts. Most of our debaters would not otherwise have this opportunity.
