Debate Clubs
Join a community of passionate debaters
Bakersfield has always been a city of oil, agriculture, and country-music straight talk. The Bakersfield Debate Club gives that tradition a venue: structured debates, motions sourced from local interest and global headlines, and a community that takes ideas seriously without taking themselves too seriously. New members welcome — including first-time debaters.
Just getting started — be part of the first debate.

Structured 1v1 to 5v5 debates with real judging.

This club is looking for its founding leader
Someone gets to be the reason Bakersfield argues in person. Ambassadors run the room, and we handle the format, topics, and tools.
