YOUTH BASKETBALL: KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS FREE THROW CHAMPIONSHIP SET FOR JAN. 8 AT TIOGA (2022-12-22)

Valley Sports Report
TIOGA CENTER — All boys and girls, ages 9 through 14, are invited to participate in the local level of competition for the Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship here Sunday, Jan. 8 at 1:30 p.m. in the high school gymnasium.

Registration and warm-ups begin at 1 p.m.  Admission is free. You can also pre-register at freethrowcontest@gmail.com.

The Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship is sponsored annually, with winners progressing through local competitions to the New York State championship in April at West Point.

Several from our area have made it to the state finals.

International champions are based on scores from the state-level competitions. All boys and girls will compete in their respective age and gender divisions. This is the eighthth annual contest, and again is dedicated to the memory of Daniel Manwaring, a long-time volunteer coach who died in 2014. Organizers hope to remind the community of Dan's spirit and enthusiasm for youth sports.

All contestants on the local level are recognized for their participation. Winners receive a plaque and move on to the next level of competition. Participants are required to furnish proof of age and written parental consent.

The local contest is sponsored by Blessed Trinity Council #251 with members from four
Catholic Churches in Tioga County. With more than 2 million members worldwide, the Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic lay organization. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, the community, families, and young people.
