WHEN: Sunday, January 13th (snow date Jan. 20th)

TIMES: 11:30 - 12:45 pm (Boys 9-10 & Girls 9-10); 1:00 - 2:00 pm (Boys 11-12, 13-15 & Girls 11-12, 13-15)

WHERE: HK High School Field House

FEE: $5 if you pre-register. There will be a $5 late fee if you register at the door. Please pre-register!

WHAT: This recreational program is designed to promote basketball enthusiasm as much as basketball skill, fun, physical fitness, friendship and good sportsmanship. Each player will have one minute to shoot from “hotspots” placed on one half of the court. Starting at the center of the half-court line, the player dribbles into shooting range. The contest challenges a player’s speed, shooting, dribbling, and rebounding ability. Three one minute rounds constitute the duration of play for each player.

The top scorer in each division will advance to the County level in East Haddam (1/19 or 1/26). Winners will then advance to the State contest in East Hampton on February 9th at 3 pm (snow date 2/10).

* The CRPA Hotshot Contest is co-sponsored by the Connecticut Recreation and Parks Association (CRPA), Mr. Trophy, & the Newington Parks and Recreation Department.

Deadline to Register: January 10th
