Free Throw Contest

The Free Throw event has been held for over 20 years.  It is for all boys and girls ages 9 through 14.  The event is usually held in the Saint Thomas More school gymnasium.  There is no cost to participate in this event.  There is no food or drinks. This event is usually on the first Friday night in February.  The event starts at 6 PM and usually runs about and hour.  Each child gets 15 throws. The child with the most baskets wins. If there is a tie, then each child gets 5 throws and the child with the most baskets wins. There are several levels, Council, District and State.

This is a wholesome activity that reaches out to the youth in the community for some  healthy, team building, fun and friendly competition. It helps build social skills and teaches the youth how to respect each other, the refs and the adults.
