Arizona Speech and Debate Coaches Association Spring Convention
2022 — Glendale, AZ/US
Arizona Speech and Debate Coaches Association
Spring Conference
Thunderbird High School, April 30, 2022
Dear Speech and Debate Coaches:
You are cordially invited to the 2022 Arizona Speech and Debate Coaches Association Spring Conference on April 30, 2022. We will register at 8:30 AM and start our conference business at 9:00.
This meeting will allow us to elect officers and representatives for next year, vote on some possible initiatives, hold some informative training sessions, and see each other one last time before the end of the year. This day is recommended for those who are serving as the contracted coaches for their team, or who will be a new coach next fall. We will provide state recertification credit for teachers who attend.
Location and Directions
Once again, we are fortunate that Thunderbird High School will serve as our host. They are located at 1750 E Thunderbird Rd. Phoenix, AZ 85023.
Registration
To register, go to http://azspring.tabroom.com/ and sign up as a judge for the “Conference” event. You do not need to enter any students. So we can get an accurate count, all coaches from your team attending the conference should be listed as “judges.”
Cost
There is no cost for coaches from ASDCA member schools. If your school has not paid membership dues for the 2021-22 school year, please do so prior to April 30. There is no separate fee for the Spring conference. Lunch will be provided by the ASDCA.
Rule Changes
If there are any proposals, submit those to me by April 23rd so I can post them on Tabroom for review before the conference.
Calendar
If you are planning to host an invitational next year or want to serve as site host for a championship tournament (Winter Trophy, State, Nat Quals), let me know by April 23rd. If you are planning on an invitational, then provide me with the tournament name, school, date, alternate date, and any other information you need to provide. The goal is to have a mostly complete 2022-23 calendar available at the conference.
Coach Workshops
We hope to offer some training workshops on various topics. If you have a topic you’d like to present, please let me know so we can work out a schedule.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the end of April.
