Hello,

We are a few days out from OCSL Squals 2026.

Here is a Live Doc where we will update info as the week progresses.

Registration will be closing shortly so please ensure your judges are entered and you are compliant with CHSSA paperwork in order to get off the waitlist.

Most Important Information

Forms: Each student needs to fill out this form. Please send us a PDF file with all digital copies of the liability form to orangecountycaspeechleague@gmail.com OR your school rep turns them all in physically at registration Sat/Sun morning.

Location: Campus Map - Here is the map to CSULB. We will be in LA buildings as well as LH 151/150. The E10 or E9 parking lots will be your best bet. From LB “Parking is enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. If you choose to park on campus, some form of paid parking is required.” Please pay or risk a ticket.

Coaches: We need a few volunteers to help with extemp prep, parli prep, and room checks. When you check-in for your school we will confer. We used to require every school provide a volunteer for the whole tournament and will have to return to that practice if we don't get the appropriate support.
