The mission of the Florida Forensic League is to provide students in secondary schools with opportunities to develop their communication, argumentation, and leadership skills through their participation in curricular and co-curricular educational and competitive events. Central to the accomplishment of this mission is the provision of instructional and organizational support for coaches and other adults who teach these skills to students through speech and debate programs in schools.
