However, to succeed at the Area level you need more than one good quizzer. The memorization is key to quizzing well. From my understanding the teams that make it to nationals often have one or more team members who have memorized the entire scripture for that year. More teens can do this than we often give them credit for and most teens can memorize more than they do if they would just work at it more. I try to realize the potential of each quizzer and challenge them to reach that level or beyond.
Some teens have a real hard time to memorize.
One area, that I think I have not done as well in as possible, is in helping the teens apply the scripture to their lives. I plan on looking at the manual above some more for ideas on how to do this better. Sometimes this can be a function of the kids you have on your team. I have had some in the past who did this real well on their own and would come to practice excited about what they discovered. But most teens need help in this area I find that practice quizzes are great for helping the kids get prepared.
