District 2 Free Throw Contest

Post date: Dec 30, 2015 5:21:00 PM

The Knights of Columbus District 2 Free Throw Championship will be held on Saturday, February 20, 2016.

It will be held at the Advocate Condell Centre Club - Gurnee, 1405 Hunt Club Road, Gurnee, IL 60031.

Registration will begin at 1:00 PM in the Education room on the main floor of the Centre Club.

The Free Throw will begin at 1:30 PM downstairs on the basketball court. Beginning with the 9 year old boys and girls.

The Free Throw Championship should be over and medals awarded to the winners by 3:00 PM.

Please make sure that you have Your Council Champions' score sheet along with a copy of their birth certificate with you when you check in the children from your council's Free Throw.

Chairs will be provided for the participants, family, friends and spectators.

The Centre Club Deli should be open to provide snacks and drinks for sale.

I have the following District 2 Councils participating in the Free Throw:

Waukegan Council 731

Precious Blood Council 9689 (St. Gilberts)

St. Patrick Council 12639

Our Lady of Humility Council 13598

I am asking for volunteers from the Divine Mercy Council 11112 and the Archangels Council 15422 to help to check in participants and to be judges and scorers.

I would like to order t-shirts for the participants. They are $5.00 per shirt for both the children and adult sizes. I am asking for help from to Councils to shirt sizes of your participants and if your Council could help pay for the shirts. I would also order for any adults who would like to get a T-shirt. (See the attached proposed design.) I would need to know the quantity and sizes by February 7. You can pay me on the 20th.

I have ordered the Official Knights of Columbus Basketballs for the Free Throw Championship, as the gym does not have women's regulation basketballs (needed for ages 9-11, and girls 12-14). If your council wants to bring basketballs feel free to do so.
