The program is unique in that it allows students to learn the basic casting
techniques as well as having a fun competition to display the skills and
techniques learned throughout the program. Each contestant/student must
cast to the targets provided using the spincast combos provided in the contest
kit. Each contestant/student must flip twice from 10 feet, pitch twice from 20
