Everyone's a winner!

One of the unique qualities of an Optimist Club is their ability to make every child feel as if they are a winner.  That is exactly what the Optimist Club of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin will do at the Annual Tri Star Basketball Contest on February 27.

Students will register the day of the event at the Menomonee Falls High School gymnasium.  They will participate in the three phases of the contest - dribbling, passing, and shooting - between 8:30 and 11:15 a.m.  Each participant will be evaluated within in their own age and gender categories and recognition for participating.  The top three scorers from each age/gender group will be announced and recieve awards.  The top contestants will have the opportunity to participate in the Wisconsin District competition on March 20. 

Tri-Star Sports activities are one waya that Optimist Clubs help introduce sports to children. This event does require that the parents supervise their children.  It is not a drop-off activity.  Students can bring their own ball to practice during sign-up time.
