Speech Club

The goal of our speech club is to train students in public speaking with an emphasis on putting God first. Students are encouraged to strive to do their best. 

Club 19:14 is comparable to a co-op class.  Meetings will begin on time. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to get settled so you don’t miss out on important announcements or valuable training time. Our coaches are all volunteers and we will want to respect their commitment by honoring the times we set for them to be there. 

Each Club Day will include instruction, assignments, practice and critiquing. This is accomplished as a cooperative effort and active participation of BOTH parents and students, so parental participation is required. The following NCFCA speech categories are available:

•    Platform: Original Oratory, Persuasive, Expository
•    Interpretative: Open, Humorous, Dramatic, Duo
•    Limited Preparation: Apologetics, Extemp, Impromptu

For more details about the above speech categories, see: http://www.ncfca.org/speech.

Practice and homework may take 2-3 hours per week until pieces are selected and memorized.
