PARSIPPANY — Central Middle School was the host for the Elks Hoop Shoot on Saturday, November 17. There were a total of 36 participants.
The Elks Hoop Shoot is a free Throw Program for Youth Ages 8-13.
The winners will move onto the Districts in Ogdensburg on January 6, 2019.
The 2019 Hoop Shoot National Finals will take place on April 27 in Chicago.
The Elks have been developing gritty kids for more than 45 years through the Hoop Shoot free throw program–long before researchers and experts concluded that grit was the most accurate indicator of future success.
The Hoop Shoot allows every boy and girl between 8 and 13 in an Elks Lodge community the opportunity to participate in a fun, age-appropriate program that sets them up for future success.
Elks invest in their communities through programs that help children grow up healthy and drug-free, meet the needs of today’s veterans, and improve the quality of life. Parsippany-Troy Hills Elks Lodge #2078 is located at 230 Parsippany Road.
