Clubs

What’s a Club? It simply means that you follow a set schedule of verses to be memorised for each week’s practice. There are several clubs to choose from:

Club 50 – You will memorise 50 verses over the course of the quizzing year (from September until April). This amounts to 1 or 2 verses a week.

Club 100 – You will memorise 100 verses over the course of the quizzing year. This is between 3 and 5 verses a week.

Club 150 – You will memorise 150 verses over the course of the quizzing year. This is around 7 verses a week.

Club 300 – You will memorise 300 verses over the course of the quizzing year. This will be about 14 verses each week. You will memorise all of the club 150 verses, and may either add 150 verses of your own choice to make up 300 verses, or memorize the suggested 150.

Club 500 – New this year, to close the gap between Club 300 and Club Text! Memorize Club 150 for sure, and then to make up the remaining 350 verses, choose ones yourself or use the suggested ones for Club 300 along with 50 of your choice.

Club Text – You will memorise the entire quizzing material over the year. This requires memorising a chapter per week, or approximately twenty to thirty verses. Don’t panic – some find it easier to memorise everything than little snatches of each chapter.

Club Study – This club is unique to our quiz team. Anybody unable to memorize for any reason can participate in the Bible study and community of Quizzing. To complete this club, participants must read the section being studied that week at least three times during the week and be prepared to participate in the Bible study.

At each practice we will have time set aside for quoting. This means that you need to arrive at practice prepared with the verses for that week memorised. You must quote each verse (or chapter) you memorise three times to three different people on three different weeks to receive a certificate at the end of the year. Does that sound confusing? Let me explain.

Here’s what I would do – Say you are doing Club 50. For the first week you are told to memorise Galatians 1:1 and 10. So starting the week before that first practice you memorise those two verses and quote them to your parents. That is quote #1. The next week you will quote week 2’s verses to a parent and week 1’s verses to a coach at quiz practice. The third week you will quote week 3’s verses to a parent, week 2’s verses to a coach, and week 1’s verses to someone at church (or anyone else who you haven’t quoted to yet, just not a sibling!). At the end of the year, all three columns on your sign-off sheet will be filled and we can order you a certificate for all that hard work!
