Thank you for considering our tournament and welcome to the Coal City Winter Break Invitational. This is our 9th year hosting the tournament and we have had record turnouts every year. For those of you that are returning...yes, we are still giving out the hoodies. For those of you that are new...anyone who finishes as a tournament champion will, in addition to their medal, receive a hoodie that states they are the champion. It is our way of saying congrats and sending you off to the winter break with something warm to wear!
Coal City High School is pleased to announce that it will host its 9th annual Winter Break Speech Invitational, this year, on December 21st, 2013. We have had a great turn out for the past few years and plan to expand once again. I am sending this letter out through email to all of the coaches that I know have shown interest in attending our meet and a few that I thought might be interested. Please feel free to pass the invite on to others or have them contact me if they are interested. My email address is dsinkular@ccu1.net . The tournament will be 2 staggered rounds, one being double judged, and a final round. Extemp and Radio will prep once during the day, and once for finals.
Due to limited space we will accept on a first come first serve basis. We are also only able to accept 1 team per school unless other arrangements are made ahead of time due to space. The entry fee will be $120 dollars that can be forwarded to the school prior to the meet or brought on the day of the meet. Please make checks payable to Coal City High School.
