Introducing the Nile Debate Club!
Weekly coaching, live feedback, and a tight-knit community of Stoa debaters training under NITOC champions, online every Tuesday.
Nile is for everyone, whether you already have a club or not!
The Club That Works With Yours, Or On Its Own
Nile Debate Club is built to layer expert coaching onto the community you already have, or to be the community if you don't. Home clubs run by parents are where most debaters start, and they do it well. Nile is the next layer.
Whats Inside the Club?
Weekly Multi-Level Coaching
Live online sessions every Tuesday, with coaching tailored to what your debater actually needs, whether they're a first-timer or seasoned vet.
Practice Rounds With Teammates
Real rounds against real competition, not just theory. Your debater builds the reps they need to walk into tournaments confident.
High-Level 1AC Feedback
Get your affirmative case torn apart (kindly) by coaches who've stood in NITOC finals. The kind of feedback that sharpens a case in one session instead of a season.
Real-Time Critique of Drills and Arguments
Run a drill, get coached on it immediately. No waiting, no guessing what you did wrong, just direct feedback in the moment.
Coaching Across All Three Events
Team Policy, Lincoln-Douglas, and Parliamentary, all covered. One membership, every event your debater competes in.
Post-Tournament Ballot Review
Bring your ballots to the club and we'll help you make sense of them. Turn every tournament into a clear roadmap for what to work on next.
