Announcing Premier Debate Coaching 2018-19

Premier Debate organizes online coaching and tournament preparation and coordinates a virtual team of debaters and coaches throughout the season. The program began last January, and our debaters improved tremendously throughout the semester, reaching elimination rounds, earning TOC bids, and qualifying to state and national championships.

Our coaches were elite competitors in their own right and now as coaches, have taught successful debaters nationwide. We cater to LD debaters of all styles and skill levels and will place debaters with coaches who best fit their needs.

We believe that the best way to debate better is to debate more, and that’s why drill sessions are central to the coaching program. There is simply no substitute for consistent one-on-one coaching. You can learn debate by sitting in a classroom, listening to lectures, or watching others debate; but you can learn a lot faster by doing it yourself. Our no-frills approach means you get what you pay for: guaranteed improvement.
