New School Registration

If you are interested in starting a debate program at your school and joining the Atlanta Urban Debate League, the first step is to find a teacher to act as the coach for the school. This can be any faculty or staff member at the school interested in supporting the debate program; debate experience is not required, and the AUDL has coach resources for both the public and member schools.

We recommend referring to the membership manuals to show potential coaches what an AUDL debate program could look like and highlight its benefits to school administration. The manuals include the annual membership fees and what programming and resources are available to AUDL members. If any potential coaches would like a more details on available AUDL resources, there are breakdowns available here.

If you have questions, concerns, or would like to talk to AUDL staff about anything involved with starting or running a program, please email us at atlantadebate@gmail.com.

Once you have found a coach and confirmed that your school will be starting a program, please fill out this registration form.
