The Town of Flower Mound is partnering with the NFL to host the annual Punt, Pass, and Kick (PPK) football skills competition Saturday, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to noon at Gerault Park, 1200 Gerault Rd.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the PPK competition, which is a national initiative that allows boys and girls, ages 6 – 15 (as of Dec. 31, 2011) to compete separately in five age divisions. Participants have the opportunity to complete one pass, one punt and one place-kick, with scores based on distance and accuracy. The top five finishers will advance to a sectional competition.
Participants are encouraged to register for the free event at the NFL PPK website www.nflppk.com and must provide a copy of their birth certificate at the competition for age verification. Children should wear soft-soled sneakers. No football shoes, cleats or turf shoes will be permitted.
