← Kister Homeschool Debate
NSDA NATIONALS 2026 • RICHMOND, VA • PUBLIC FORUM NSDA
Our Story

One year ago our kids had no debate program, no team, and no obvious path to competitive debate. That changed when Bubby spotted an article about Citron Online, founded by Alex Libkind on the belief that debate should be accessible to everyone. Citron worked with NSDA to bring our homeschool family into the fold — Coach Mike onboarded the kids and taught them the craft, and Coach Batya worked with them on speech and delivery. They ran practice rounds with other schools and guided the kids through a full season of competition.

Qualifying for NSDA Nationals in their first season of Public Forum is a direct result of that coaching.
