Doors will open at 11:00 am for registration and practice shooting.  Boys and girls who are 9-14 by January 1, 2020, are eligible to participate. Those participating may register at the door.

Each participant will get 3 warm-up shots, followed by shooting 15 free throws during the competition.

Boys and girls, ages 10 and 11, will shoot with a women’s regulation size basketball from a foul line 12-foot away from a 10-foot high basket.

In addition, those participating will also have an opportunity to win other prizes. Those finishing first in their respective divisions will advance to the district level of competition.
