Verity offers two levels of debate, Public Forum and Team Policy with optional/extra participation in Lincoln Douglas (ages 12-18). Public Forum ages are from 10-13 and Team Policy is ages 12 to 18. Your child’s age is evaluated as of October 1st each year. Therefore, if your child turns 12 on October 2nd, for Verity, and our regional (CCofSE) and national leagues (Stoa), their age for the year would still be 11.

You can find the information about each debate event in the drop-down menu.

Please note that not all tournaments will offer all events.
