Knights of Columbus Council 831 to Sponsor Free Throw Contest

All boys and girls ages 9 – 14 are invited to participate in the local level of competition for the 2023 Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championships.

Trophies are awarded in all 12 age divisions (nine-year-old boys through 14-year-old boys, and nine-year-old boys through 14-year-old girls).

Age eligibility is determined by the age of the contestant as of Jan. 1, 2023.

The contest is free of charge and open to all area youth.

The local competition will be held Sunday, Jan. 29 starting at 1 p.m., in the Sacred Heart School Gym, 416 West 3rd, Sedalia.

Although this is a kick-off event to Catholic Schools Week 2023 at Sacred Heart School, it was emphasized that all youth within these age categories we invited to participate, regardless of which school they attend.

The K of C Free Throw Championships contest is sponsored annually, with winners progressing through the local, district and state levels of competition.

Participants are required to show proof of age and parental consent. For more information, contact Dr. Mark Register at 620-5043.
