Students new to club will be focusing on Platform speeches for the 2025-2026 competition season. They will learn how to choose a topic, write a speech and then present it with confidence. Students will receive feedback from their coach, parents, and their peers during meetings. They will participate in a practice tournament before competition season begins.
​
Metro Edge veteran students will be focusing on Interpretation speeches this year.
All students have the option of attending the Limited Preparation practice & feedback hour.

Younger siblings can join, too! There is an area for them to play or even learn to write a junior version of a Platform speech.
