The JV Speech events are not Stoa-qualifying events, but are unique and local to VA and NC clubs and the age range is from 9-11. Your child’s age is evaluated as of October 1st each year. Therefore, if your child is 12 on October 2nd, for Verity, and our regional and national league, their age for the year would still be 11. Stoa does not have speech competitions for children who are under age 12 on October 1st so those under 12 will participate and compete under the local organization’s speech rules.

JV Speech includes the following events: 
Limited Prep
Impromptu Triple Challenge
Bible Story

Interpretive
JV Open Interp

Platform 
Original Oratory
Expository
