Punt, Pass, and Kick

Punt, pass, and kick (PP&K) was a skills competition offered by the US National Football League (NFL) for children aged 6 to 15.

PP&K began in 1961 and at one time, event highlights were shown by CBS Sports as part of its NFL coverage.

The contest received renewed attention in 1995 when Kendra Wecker, a 12-year-old girl from Kansas, made the finals in her age group and competed on an equal basis with male competitors.

Winners in each age group are determined by the total distance of their punts, passes, and kicks, as the name implies.

The national finals competition involves one contestant from each age group sponsored by each of the NFL's 32 teams.

Famous competitors include: On May 1, 2017 the NFL announced that the Punt, Pass, and Kick competition would be terminated after 56 years.
