The NFL developed the Punt, Pass & Kick program specifically for physical education teachers and coaches so they may better teach some of the fundamentals of punting, passing and kicking a football, as well as the teamwork needed to successfully play sports. Regardless of a player’s ability, we encourage the promotion of fun and appreciation of the game while teaching and developing important life skills.  The NFL Pepsi Punt, Pass & Kick program is a national skills competition for boys and girls between the ages of 8 - 15 to compete separately against their peers.  Established in 1961, the PP&K program is the oldest NFL Youth Football program. Girls and boys in four separate age divisions (8-9, 10-11, 12-13, and 14-15) compete against each other in punting, passing and place kicking in a fun and engaging forum. The PP&K program is free - both to organizers who host a local competition and to every youngster who wants to participate! With more than four million boys and girls from around the country taking part in the NFL Pepsi Punt, Pass & Kick competition every year from July through January, it is one of the world's largest youth sports participation programs.

There is an allowance for 20 minutes of warm-up and then each participant is invited to perform their three individual tasks.  Each participant’s scores are tabulated and the winners are announced at the close of the event. All applicants must have a copy of his or her birth certificate and wear street or gym shoes. No cleats are allowed in the competition.

Important things to remember: All participants must have a copy of his or hers birth certificate and all participants must wear street or gym shoes, "No Cleats."
