What Sport Is It? Trivia Questions

1. This sport is played with teams of six. The teams score points when they make the ball hit the ground on the other team's side of the net. Which game is this?

From Quiz
Love You More Than Football

Answer: Volleyball

Volleyball can also be played indoors or on grass. The game starts when one player throws the ball in the air and then hits it with their hand or arm, which is known as a 'serve'. You can only hit the ball and are not allowed to throw and catch it, so understandably, there is a lot of jumping around involved.

2. The ball is hit to the shortstop, thrown to second for one out, and then to first for a double play. What sport is being played here?

From Quiz Pass Me the Ball

Answer: Baseball

Baseball has been an American pastime since the 1840s when it slowly started to gain popularity across the United States. Today, Major League Baseball (MLB) is the most popular league in North America. To play baseball, all you need is a bat, a ball, and a glove. The object of the game is to try and hit the ball and then run around the four bases. It is played over nine innings. The team to score the most runs at the end of the game will be declared the winner. If it is a tie at the end of the nine innings, extra innings will be played until someone comes out on top.

3. All the clues in this quiz are written in Haiku form. This is a three line Japanese poem in which each line contains exactly five, seven and five syllables: Nine men on the field The bat connects with a crack What ball whizzes past?

From Quiz Great Balls of Fire!

Answer: Baseball

Baseball is often called "the great American pastime." The ball is struck by a bat, and if the hit is good the batter attempts to run around the three bases and back to home plate where he started. The other team attempts to prevent the scoring run by getting the baseball back to the fielder at the base before the runner arrives. American children often learn the game by playing on community teams. This question was compiled by Phoenix Rising team player pusdoc.
