The Elks Hoop Shoot is a FREE throw contest open to kids ages 8-13 as of 4/1/2026.
No affiliation with the Elks or a basketball team is required.
Kids of all skill levels are welcome to participate.

Hoop Shoot competitors build confidence, develop a strong work ethic, learn the value of dedication, and have the courage to step up—even when the pressure is on.

Winner of the local contest advances to the District level, and could go on the State, Regional and National levels.
This is a great program that teaches kids about perseverance, determination and working to achieve your goals.
