Hoop Shoot

The Elks National “Hoop Shoot” Free Throw Contest is open to boys and girls, ages 8 to 13. 

There are two divisions (boys and girls) and three age categories in each division (ages 8-9, ages 10-11, and ages 12-13).  Boys and girls in the 8-9 age category may shoot four feet in front of the regulation foul line.  Participants with the top three scores in each category/division will be invited to compete in a playoff against other winners in the state.  Winners at the state level are invited to compete at a regional competition. 

In the 2022/2023 competition, we had a local player go on to play in the national competition in Chicago.

The next Hoop Shoot in St. Cloud will be held on December 2, 2023.
