On Saturday, March 4, 2017 the Northridge Optimist Club conducted the annual Pass/Shoot/Dribble basketball skills contest for kids ages 8 to 13. The event was held at the Northridge High School gym. Kids competed within their own age groups, and trophies were awarded for first, second, and third places in each of six age groups. All contestants received a free event t-shirt. The contest consisted of dribbling through a course of safety cones (a timed event), shooting from various spots on the floor, and passing to a stationary target. Many thanks to the those from the Northridge High School men's and women's basketball programs who assisted with the scoring, demonstrations, and awards presentations.
