Punt, pass and kick (PP&K) is a skills competition offered by the National Football League and designed for youths aged 6 to 15. == Overview == 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. Wecker would later become an All-American in basketball at Kansas State University and plays in the Women's National Basketball Association. PP&K now offers separate competition for boys and girls in five different age groups. 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. Those contestants have already won local and sectional qualifiers to advance to that point. The finalists are announced during a commercial break during the NFL playoffs each year. Famous competitors include: Andy Reid: Head coach of Kansas City Chiefs, Kendra Wecker: WNBA player, and Ron Rejda: Kicker for Cornell Big Red 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Punt, Pass, and Kick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
