What is the NCFCA? NCFCA stands for National Christian Forensics and Communications Association. It is a speech and debate program for homeschoolers (primarily Christians) where you learn how to write speeches, act out interps (acting out a book while being all characters, and using no props), debate on political subjects, and then getting to do your speeches and debate in different levels of competition. I have been doing it for 3 years now, and I absolutely love doing it.

Most people I know, including many homeschoolers have never heard of the NCFCA. So I was wondering has anyone on here ever heard of the NCFCA, know someone who participates in it, or have you participated in it yourself?

I have a friend who does NCFCA.

I debated in team policy for two years and I've been coaching Team Policy & Lincoln Douglas for nine years now.

Oh ... cool! No wonder why you're a fierce debater!

All of my teams got to Regionals this year and one got to Nationals.

Great! If you don't mind me asking, what region are you from? I'm from region 10.

I'm region nine

So you said you did debate for 2 years. Did you ever do any of the other speech events?

I did all of them, this was 10 years ago though back before they started adding new types every year.

NCFCA seems cool. I would like to maybe try it sometime but I'm not a speech person at all and I'm already busy enough without having to go to events during the NCFCA season.

It is a lot of fun. Most people I know who are involved in the NCFCA who were forced to do it as a speech class by their parents, absolutely love doing it now and are extremely good at it. You should give it a try sometime. You just might like it!

I'd love to join, if I live in US.
