Break Debate Team 26-27

Break Debate Team 26-27 is our Lincoln-Douglas program for grades 6–12, from first-year beginners to national circuit competitors. It runs like a school debate team with a professional coaching staff behind it: coach-produced research for every topic, twice-weekly Harkness and Socratic seminars, 1:1 tutoring, and coaching at tournaments.

Both plans get the same coaches and the same research. Circuit adds private tutoring and a lower rate on extra hours.

CIRCUIT — $3,500 per season (the full program)

For the committed competitor going all in.

• Everything in Essentials

• 5 hours of 1:1 tutoring included

• Extra 1:1 tutoring at $60/hr, our lowest rate

ESSENTIALS — $3,000 per season

For the self-directed debater who wants the research and the classroom, and schedules their own tutoring.

• 300+ updated backfiles

• 50+ coach-made positions per topic

• 64 live lectures

• 24/7 coach chat

• 1:1 tutoring at $75/hr

ONSITE TOURNAMENT COACHING — add-on for either plan

The cost of sending a coach is split evenly among the students attending, at about one coach per four students. Where we can't send a coach, we support students online.
