Westfield-NYCUDL Girls RR

NYC Girls Inaugural Round Robin Debate Invitational from The New York City Debate League on Vimeo.

The Westfield Debate Team and the New York City Urban Debate League are honored to invite all female identifying debaters to join us for a day of competitive debate in a supportive environment. We aim to provide exceptional judging and detailed feedback to all our participants as they prepare for November/December tournaments.

This day is all about support and sisterhood. Not only will debaters come together to build a support system and circuit community, they will receive mentorship from former debaters. Sisterhood is important beyond the world of high school debate, so the day will also include leaders in the fields of finance and law who will share their experiences as women in Corporate America.
