Being able to CONSISTENTLY make free throws is such a critical skill for players of all ages. How many times have you seen a youth, high school, college or NBA game decided on the free throw line? Too many to count.
The Elks Hoop Shoot contest is a great basketball experience for boys & girls ages 8 – 13. There are 6 divisions:
- Boys, ages 8-9
- Girls, ages 8-9
- Boys, ages 10-11
- Girls, ages 10-11
- Boys, ages 12-13
- Girls, ages 12-13
Contest Rules: The contest rules are simple. The players pick the shooting order. A player gets to warm up. The player then shoots 10 free throws. After shooting the free throws the player sits at the end of the line and waits for the other players to shoot 10 free throws each. After all the players have shot 10 free throws, the 1st player shoots an additional 15 free throws. After all the players have finished shooting the top scorer is announced the winner.
In the event of a tie, the remaining players will shot 5 shot sets until a winner is determined.
