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

All boys and girls ages 9-14 (as of January 1) are eligible to participate and will compete in their respective age and gender divisions. (Youths may enter only one local-level competition.) Each competitor will be recognized for his or her participation in the event with each division winner advancing to next month’s District Competition. For entry forms or additional information, feel free to contact Joe Radabaugh, event coordinator, at 419-272-1303.
