About Us

Ignite Extra – Debate! was created by a parent who saw firsthand how debate can transform lives—starting with her own child.

After three years of supporting a high school debater, volunteering with the team, and judging at tournaments, I realized how confusing and overwhelming it can be for students, parents, and even coaches to get started. That’s why I built Ignite Extra – Debate! with my passionate debater.

Ignite Debate. Unlock Potential. This is more than a tagline—it’s our mission. We believe debate is a life-changing skill that should be accessible, inclusive, and empowering for everyone.

Our free, one-stop website sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and supports every step of the high school debate journey. From learning formats to navigating tournaments to finding summer camps, we offer beginner-friendly resources to help students, parents, and coaches succeed.

Whether you're discovering your voice, supporting a student, or guiding a team—we’re here to help you thrive.
