I have around 7-15 or so question quizzes of general softball knowledge and some situational questions. I like to hand them out for “homework” during the week. I’m looking for some new material and willing to share mine if anyone is interested.

I don't want the quiz! No thanks!!! What was that saying about keeping quiet so you don't show people just how dumb you are? I forget what number we are on so I'll just number this one #10.

10. You are about to play in the championship game of the tournament with Player/Pitcher A, your #1 rested and ready. Due to injuries, you are now down to 9 players. As Player A gets ready, you see a parent of Player/Pitcher D headed toward you. Player/Pitcher D's parent is headed coach's way to:

A. Inform you that they are available to warm up a pitcher between innings if needed.
B. Inform you that if Player/Pitcher D is not in the circle, they are leaving.
C. Give you Player/Pitcher D's stats and tell you that if she is not in the circle, they are leaving.
D. Tell you that without their daughter (Player/Pitcher D) your team isn't ... then tell you her stats and then say that if she is not in the circle, they are leaving.

The above is not made up and was done by a parent when my DD was first year 12U. BB was to be in the circle. The HC told them to leave. They did. We could not field a team and so, lost the tournament championship. We won in that we finally got rid of that pain in the bottom.

WOW! I can’t even comprehend thinking something like that.

Maybe we should make a new coach quiz for people thinking about coaching. All the great situations they may find their self dealing with. And for them to determine if they are still as excited to start a team.

Bumping this thread for ideas to keep our team engaged during this downtime.

If anyone (@Man10 and @NBECoach ) have these quizzes available still (the real ones, not the super funny ones posted in the thread), I think it would be a great idea to e-mail out to our teams to keep their minds into softball a bit while we're all sequestered.

If you still have them available, would you please PM me? Alternately, so you don't have to send them to every person on the forum, is there a way to post them in the media section or a link to a public folder somewhere?

Thank you in advance to anyone who contributes!

Player A just hit a late inning 3-run home run to give your team a 4-1 win to advance to the semi-finals to face what everyone knows is the other top team in the tournament. It is the last tournament of the year. At that point, player A leads the team in RBI, home runs, triples and is 6th in batting average. If you are the coach, what do you do in the next game?

a) bench player A so someone better can bat

I can't even come up with any other options. Yeah, it is 1.5 years later, and I am still ticked off. Sadly, they topped this one too.

Sorry to stir up some of the bad memories!
