The River Valley Speech and Debate League exists to provide local, cheap and robust competitive Speech and Debate tournaments to the River Valley. The initial goals of the League are to target six local counties: Yell, Logan, Pope, Conway, Perry and Johnson. In those counties, the league would offer: free instructional materials to kickstart programs, workshops for both teachers and students and a local, free, monthly competition.
