On January 10, 2026, Laramie Elks Lodge #582 is hosting the Annual Hoop Shoot Free Throw Contest at the Laramie Community Recreation Center, 920 Boulder Drive.  The Hoop Shoot is FREE and open to Boys & Girls Ages 8 to 13.  Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. with the contest beginning at 10:00 a.m.

Through the Hoop Shoot program, the Elks have been unleashing grit for more than 50 years.  Local winners have a chance to compete at the State Competition in Casper, Wyoming and potentially the National Hoop Shoot Competition in Chicago, Illinois, in April.  Regardless, the Hoop Shoot journey begins right here in Laramie, Wyoming.  We hope to see you there on January 10!
