Hello!

We’re excited to host a Novice Night for the Des Moines metro on Tuesday, October 15th at Roosevelt High School from 5:00 - 8:00 pm (extemp draw @ 5, R1 starts @ 5:30). Free entry and varsity team members are strongly encouraged to judge.

We’re offering two rounds of both speech & debate, as well as one round of congress. During extemp draw, all student-judges will get a brief intro to constructive judging.

We're expecting meals to be covered by a sponsor -- stay tuned. (:

Above all, we love Des Moines speech and debate and want as many kids as possible to get a chance to show what they can do. See you soon!
