Notre Dame Speech and Debate Team

Welcome to the Notre Dame Speech and Debate Team

The Notre Dame forensic program reflects a long and rich tradition of excellence in art, argumentation, and authentic persuasion. The team competes in individual events that range from impromptu speaking and slam poetry to oratory and the dramatic interpretation of literature.  The team also competes in multiple debate formats such as limited-preparation parliamentary debate and policy debate. We believe that raising your voice is a force for good in the world!  

Current schedule:

TEAM MEETINGS: Mondays from 5:05pm-5:55pm

TEAM PRACTICES: Mondays from 6:00pm-7:30pm, Thursdays from 5:00pm-6:30pm
