Free Throw Tournament

Free Throw

Each year the Knights of Columbus conduct a program for youth called Free Throw Tournaments.  It begins on the Council level; progresses through the District and Diocesan levels; advances to the State level and finally the National level.

Open to boys and girls aged 10-14, it is a fun program for the Knights and families.  Participants do not need to be related to a Knight in order to compete.
