See slide show below for more photos from the 2018 event..
On Saturday, March 10, 2018 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, with trophies awarded for first, second, and third places in each of six age groups. All contestants received a free drawstring backpack as a souvenir of the event. The contest consists of dribbling through a course of safety cones (a timed event), shooting from various spots on the floor, and passing to a stationary target.

​A special guest attended the event to help out - club member Derrick Freeman brought his nephew, Chunky Clements, who is an NFL player with the Houston Texans. Chunky helped with the skills events, met with the kids as the awards were announced, and signed autographs for them. (Many thanks to Derrick and Chunky).
