The NIRSA Foundation is committed to supporting future leaders in collegiate recreation.The hoop shoot will have a number of different divisions to make it fun for everyone. Or you can always challenge your friends, challenge another school, or challenge your boss. Let your playin’ do the talkin’, earn bragging rights, and help raise funds for the NIRSA Foundation!
Prizes will be awarded to winners from each division, and one overall champion will be crowned. Will it be you? Stop by the Expo Hall to test your touch from the charity stripe or swing to watch the fun!
All proceeds go directly to the NIRSA Foundation and will fund NIRSA research as well as provide future professional development opportunities to student and professional members.
The Hoop Shoot Contest is made possible thanks to the support of BSN Sports and Ecore Athletic.
