Tournaments
Support the Team
The Anderson Speech and Debate Team is a large, inclusive team open to any Anderson High School student. To ensure that every student has the opportunity to participate at the highest levels, the Anderson Speech and Debate Booster Club and our generous Business Sponsors bridge the gap between the costs of entering and participating in tournaments and what families are able to contribute through team fees.
In addition to financial contributions, volunteering one’s time through serving as a judge or driving a carpool on tournament weekends can make a significant contribution to the team.
