Rule 7-3-1 says the batter shall not delay the game and must take her position in the batter's box within 10 seconds. A portion of the penality (ART. 1) says that failure of the batter to be ready within 10 seconds after the ball has been returned to the pitcher the umpire shall call a strike.

There's nothing mentioned about the umpire having to give a warning.
It's a scrimmage - not a game. I approach scrimmages much differently than I do games - I suspect that most do.
