ADACC: The Argumentative Debate and Academic Competition Club

​

ADACC is a club where members are exposed to the mechanics of debate and are taught how to prepare and deliver arguments. We hope that not only does ADACC become ingrained in school tradition, but that it significantly helps students, whether it be at school itself or further on in life.  

 

The art of debate is extremely important for everyone to realize and understand. To be able to voice what you believe and get that across efficiently is a characteristic that is extremely rare and powerful. It is imperative that people are able to negotiate, discuss, and argue in order to lead to a progressive life. ADACC teaches and improves every aspect of this and incorporates these in an interactive and fun atmosphere. This is not a Speech and Debate club.

 

ADACC’s curriculum teaches three main debate requirements:

1.)   How to prepare a basic debate case. The intricacies of researching and properly delivering your arguments.

2.)   How to attack other people’s arguments. Knowing when and how to “poke holes” in other people’s arguments.

3.)   How to present yourself. Professionalism, sophistication, and class.
