Reuben Lopez

Singapore Head Coach


Growing up in an exclusively Chinese speaking family and without access to formalized debate training, Alfred nevertheless consistently ranked amongst the top ten speakers in Asia. He has employed his unique experiences and self-taught techniques to train multiple championship winning school teams in Singapore, and hopes to make debate an accessible sport for everyone.

With years of success debating as an underdog in the circuit, Reuben has mastered the secret to defying the odds. He now puts that knowledge to use, grooming top dogs in schools without established records in the competitive scene. Reuben served as the Director (Competitions and Training) of the Debate Association (Singapore) from 2017-2019.
