TQBA Fall 2024 Classes Registration Link

Our classes are recommended for students in grades 6th through 10th who wish to improve at quiz bowl. Over more than 25 hours of instructional time in each class, we will be teaching subject clues, buzzing strategies, study skills, and critical thinking.

We will be teaching classes five nights a week starting on Sunday, August 18th and ending on Thursday, December 19th. All of these classes are tossup based and will run from 6:30 p.m. through 8 p.m. central for a total of 17 weeks. We will take off for Thanksgiving week.

Classes will cost $360 each and all questions used in class will be made available to the students via Google sharing. In addition, we will offer a set of special scavenger hunt bonus-based home activities that students may use to improve more quickly. These activities will supplement the materials we will use in class (and will not include the same questions).
