A game changing public debate series exploring key issues in sports
Issues in and around sports are essential civic conversations that can inspire more students to debate. This debate showcase & series will encourage the next generation to research, develop, and advocate for solutions around these issues in partnership with the local sports franchises, personnel and media in our communities. Sports Debate will enhance civic education around these key issues in our communities while introducing high school students to careers in sports and sports media.
“It’s often said that “sport” in our society can be a unifying force. Without question, it is a “connective tissue” for communities as they come together to support their own. With that in mind, I commend the National Association for Urban Debate Leagues (NAUDL) in identifying an innovative concept around sports which engages students through a competitive debate. Undoubtedly, this can drive conversation around key topics that can enhance the world in which we live.” – Joe Castiglione, Vice President & Director of Athletics — The University of Oklahoma
Supporting the next generation of compelling voices fueled by reason, anchored in confidence.
