Worthy State Officers, Regional and District Officers, Grand Knights, Worthy Officers, Worthy Brothers:

Just a reminder that our 2023 Pennsylvania State Free Throw Championship is fast approaching and is scheduled for Saturday, March 11, 2023, in York, Pennsylvania.  Registration starts at 11:00am.  State competition begins at 12:00 Noon.  The event will be held at:

TIMELINE-The recommended timeframe for the Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship is as follows:
Council Championship-January
District Championship-February
Regional Championship-February
State/Jurisdictional-March
 
Some key items to consider:
No identification is needed for participants.  Birth certificates are no longer needed. Review the Free Throw Championship materials on the Supreme website. Work to use Free Throw Championship Entry Form/Score Sheet #1598.  Dated 11/21. Promote the event as a community event.  Not just a local church event. Select a chairman for your Free Throw Championship. Train all Knights and volunteers involved on the Free Throw Championship Playbook/Scoring. Ensure two Knights are Safe Environment/Diocese compliant at each event. Work to reserve your basketball courts now.  Many of us have very active youth basketball leagues. Order your free throw council plaques, district medallions (District Deputies) now. Photograph the events as they progress. Use each level of the Free Throw Championship to recruit new members. Send winning Free Throw Championship Entry Form/Score Sheets (#1598) to the next level of competition.
