National Catholic

Forensic League


St. Louis Diocese
Picture
The National Catholic Forensic League offers a annual national tournament over Memorial Day weekend.  Not to be confused with the National Speech & Debate Association, NCFL's "Grand National Tournament" has a unique format of competition, a few different events, and a different method of qualifying.

NO, students do not need to be Catholic to compete at this tournament, and the competition is open to all schools - private and public!

The St. Louis Diocese of the NCFL does not hold a qualifying tournament.  Instead, coaches enter 'bids' of their students to the local Diocesan who then has a panel of impartial coaches evaluate the bids.  Students who receive the most votes from the impartial coaches subsequently qualify to the NCFL's Grand National Tournament.
​
The St. Louis NCFL Diocesan is Randy Pierce, who can be reached at randebate@aol.com.
Randy is the "go to" for all things NCFL in our area!
