Ohio High School Speech League
|
The Ohio High School Speech League organizes forensic competition in the state of Ohio. While not directly linked to the National Forensic League (e.g., winning the OHSSL championship tournament will not qualify one to the NFL national championships), it sponsors competition in all of the standard NFL events. It also adds a few of its own, namely, Oratorical Interpretation, and Prose & Poetry.
Districts
The OHSSL is divided into districts
- Akron district
- Canton district
- Cleveland district
- Greater Miami Valley (GMV) district
- Tarhe district.
- Youngstown district
Event changes
For the 2001-2002 season, a new event, Impromptu Speaking, was added on an introductory level. After seeing how successful the event was, the OHSSL made Impromptu Speaking an official event starting with the 2002-2003 season.
Due to some restructuring of the events, after the 2002-2003 season, Duet Acting was dropped from the list of possible events.
