About Debate
The UF Speech and Debate Team functions as one cohesive unit, made up of three distinctive squads. Except for competitions and practices and public debates, the squads come together to take part in team meetings, community service projects, social gatherings, and to, of course, represent the Gator Nation!
If you are interested in joining the team, please come by the Team Room in Rolfs Hall 201 and see what we are all about. Feel free to contact any of our current officers or coaches with questions.
