Throughout the United States, local Elks Lodges conduct Hoop Shoot contests for boys and girls between the ages of 8 to 13\. Ages 10 to 13 shoot free throws from the normal line. The young ones shoot from 4 feet closer. Each person in a category shoots five practice shots and then 10 for the record. After that’s completed, they rotate through again, shooting 15 for the record. The winners participate in district, state, regional and national competitions, where a $25,000 college scholarship is up for grabs.

The santa monica elks club recently hosted its hoop shoot contest.
