The League Pro KY

Events

 

Our programs have contributed to greater confidence in public speaking and critical thinking which has enriched our student’s academic experience.  The League Pro Kentucky has designed curriculum to provide students with the ability to strategically think, organize arguments, prepare debate cases, research evidence, confidently deliver speeches and gain an overall global competency.  As a direct result of our program, our students gain global perspective, assertiveness, resilience, and a foundation that will serve in debate, academics or throughout their lives.  

Debate Tournaments

 

The League Pro Kentucky is open to all students, grades 4–12.  We offer three package options; however, the Ultimate Debate package is only available to students in grades 6-12 who have completed our Introduction or Enhanced Debate programs.  If you have never taken one of our programs, your first semester will consist of introductory classes.  After participating in the introductory club program, you are eligible to compete in league tournaments.

Your student’s success and confidence is important to us, so we work closely with each student to foster a safe environment to grow and learn.  Each week, students strategize, review cases, receive feedback and instruction. Coaches are also available via email to answer questions outside of class.  Students will learn how to evaluate evidence and participate in speaking drills. We provide an exceptional debate team experience that includes the following:

• Organizing and Structuring Arguments

• Analyzing Credible Evidence

• Researching

• Writing

• Public Speaking and Persuasive Communication

• Active Listening and Taking Notes during a Debate

• Planning a Winning Debate Case

• Attacking Reasoning Flaws and Refuting Opponent’s Case

• Critical Thinking

• Cross Examining Opponents

• Confidence

• Ethos

This investment in your student will provide invaluable lifetime benefits.   Learning to debate is a fun and exciting pathway to academic success.  Debate is also a pathway for success in both personal and future professional careers beyond the classroom.   Due to our high academic standards, your student will be motivated to excel as they learn logic, research current events and develop the ability of persuasive communication.
