Purpose
The NFL Pepsi PUNT, PASS & KICK program will create a lively and engaging forum for boys and girls ages 8-15 to compete separately against their peers in punting, passing, and placekicking skills.

Philosophy
The National Football League wants every child to be given an equal opportunity to compete. Therefore, there is no registration fee or purchase required for any participant to enter.

Participants at Local Youth Organizations
All contestants must fill out the Entry Form/Release of Liability obtained from their school or local youth organizational group (i.e. Parks & Recreation facility, Pop Warner, Jaycees, etc.). Children must be from 8 to 15 years old and show a valid birth certificate for age verification.

Age Groups
The four age divisions are: 8/9, 10/11, 12/13, and 14/15 with boys and girls competing separately (age is determined as of December 31 of the current year). The top scorer in all age divisions from each Local Competition from each of the boys’ and girls’ divisions will advance to the Sectional Competition. The top five first-place scorers in each age group from the pool of Sectional Competition champions will advance to the Team Championship. Therefore, if there are more than five sectionals in your NFL market, everyone will not advance to the Team Championship–only the top five. A competitor must be a first-place winner at the Sectional level in order to be considered for the Team Championship.

Structure
Each National Football League city/team will be broken down into a minimum of five sections divided by geographic location.

Local/Sectional Competitions
Local Competition will take place on Sat., 10-01-05. Winners from each Local Competition (one winner from each of the boys’ and girls’ four [4] age groups) will move on to compete at an assigned Sectional Competition. Sectional will be held on Sun., 11-6-05 at 10:00 p.m. at Kezar Stadium (600 Frederick St.) in San Francisco (SF1) Click Here for directions.

Team Championships
Team Championships take place in NFL team stadiums in November and December (the actual competition will take place prior to the game). A passing exhibition will take place either during pregame or halftime.
