| Pass/Shoot/Dribble: The annual Pass/Shoot/Dribble basketball skills contest for kids was held on Saturday, March 14, 2015. It 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. There were over forty contestants this year. |  |

They have also featured our Pass/Shoot/Dribble and Scholarship Scramble items under the "Events Calendar" in their menu, and posted Pass/Shoot/Dribble information on the Northridge Schools facebook page. Many thanks to the Northridge Alumni organization for their support and for helping to promote our club events. We plan to provide information on their events on our Bulletin Board and in our e-mail bulletin. One good way to show support is to patronize the alumni businesses that are listed on their website: http://www.northridgealumni.org/id11.html.
