  1. 2020 Ham Toss - Results

Tuesday, December 15, 2020

The Ham Toss will look a little bit different this year, but the tradition continues!  The rules are the same (see below), but the event will be spaced out over several hours to allow for social distancing.  Teams will sign up for a time slot, with a maximum of four families in the gym at a time.  Participants are asked to bring their own basketballs.  Multiple teams from the same family/household can participate at the same time and only need to sign up for one time slot.
