A couple of months ago, I was looking for a place to shoot in free throw competition in my state. Living now in Oregon, I thought I would find some age group competition like I shot in when I lived in Florida. Nope – none! No senior games. No basketball competition at all in the State Games of Oregon. Short of creating my own tournament, so I could have a place to compete, I had to look farther afield.
I found that Washington state has a Senior Games and allows Oregon residents to enter, due to there not being a Senior Games in Oregon. That solved one problem, but I still thought something should be available in my state.
Enter the National Basketball Shooters Association, which has volunteered to run a free throw competition as part of the State Games of Oregon and offer a way to get basketball back into popularity in Oregon.Read the rest of the story at http://www.top-basketball-coaching.com/NBSA_OR
See you next month.
