As part of an initiative to regularise debate practice along with access to good judging, we started Saturday Spars where school students could sign up to debate every Saturday, form teams, and network with other school students. 55+ students signed up and regularly participated in spars spanning 3 months. Experienced university-level judges judged the debates and provided comprehensive feedback and tips to the participants every weekend. Motion discussion sessions also took place to help the participants analyze debate topics and arguments, with the guidance of university debaters. Saturday Spars facilitated enhanced activity in debate clubs of the participants’ schools as well.
