All boys and girls ages 9 through 14 are invited to participate in the 2018 Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship. The local competition will be held on Jan. 20 at 9:30 a.m. at St. Mary’s Immaculata Hall.

The Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship is held annually with winners progressing through local, district, regional, and state competitions.

All boys and girls 9 to 14 years of age are eligible to participate and will compete in their respective age divisions. Last year more than 120,000 sharpshooters participated in over 3600 local competitions.

Entry forms will be available at the competition. At the council level all participants will shoot 15 Free Throws to determine the winners who will advance to the District 16 competition in February.

The local competition is sponsored by the Fr. William A. Daly, SJ Council #2122 serving the Great Neck-Manhasset area since 1920.
