In a few weeks, Knights of Columbus Southborough is holding its annual Free Throw Competition for 9-14 year old boys and girls:

It’s free fun. But for some kids, it’s also a big deal.

Age group winners move on to the district competition with a chance at regional and state competitions February – April. (If the winner cannot attend the next level, the runner-up gets the spot.)

Come prepared when you take the kids that night. Because of the stakes, players are required to show proof of age, show parental consent, and provide an email contact.

You will also need to complete a registration form.

The competition takes place on Monday, January 8 at Trottier Middle School from 6:00 – 7:30 pm. Here are the details:
