Hoop Shoot: Youth Free-Throw Competition

Join the Red Bank Elks for Hoop Shoot, our annual free-throw shooting contest for children ages 8 through 13.

Held at Red Bank Regional High School (101 Ridge Road) on Sunday December 4th at 8:30am. Pre-registration is required and more details can be found at our website, redbankelks.org or download the PDF file.

Nearly three million students from across the country entered last year’s competition for boys and girls in age categories 8 to 9; 10 to 11; and 12 to 13. Each contestant has 25 shots at the hoop. The boy and girl in each age group with the best scores advance through three more tiers of competition—district, state, and regionals, to qualify for the national finals in Springfield, Massachusetts on April 28, 2012.

Hoop Shoot, in its 40th year, is one of the most important Elks youth programs as it provides spirited competition, develops character, and provides the opportunity for youngsters to develop new friendships.
