NCFCA
The National Christian Forensics and Communications Association is a speech & debate league for homeschooled students in the United States, established in 2001 after outgrowing its parent organization, the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), which had been running the league since it was originally established in 1997. NCFCA is now organized under its own board of directors with regional and state leadership coordinating tournaments and other activities.
The NCFCA offers a variety of events, including two types of debate--Policy Debate and Lincoln-Douglas Debate--as well as eleven Individual Events. These include: Dramatic Interpretation, Humorous Interpretation, Open Interpretation, Duo Interpretation, Persuasive, Expository, Original Oratory, Impromptu, Extemporaneous, and Apologetics. The eleventh event changes each year. For the 2004-2005 season it was Oratorical Interpretation.
