Since 1972, councils have sponsored the Knights of Columbus International Free Throw Championship for boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 14. The championship is set up to have the contestants compete within their own gender and age group. All competition starts at the local level. Winners move on to the district, regional, and state or provincial levels. From there, some make it to the international level for championship competition in their group.
This is a multi-level event with local competitions typically held in January and progressing through district, regional, and state/jurisdictional levels in February and March.
Competition Details
Age Eligibility: The competition is open to all boys and girls aged 9 to 14, with age determined as of January 1, 2026.
How to Participate: You must register with a local Knights of Columbus council to participate. Entry is typically free. A signed parental consent form and proof of age are required for registration, which can often be completed at the event itself.
Competition Format: Each participant is given three practice shots followed by 15 consecutive free-throw attempts.
Progression: Winners at the local level advance to the district, regional, and then state competitions. International champions are determined based on scores from the state-level events.
