PPK at Heritage Elementary School

Caroline Hopkins, Emily Gallagher, Jack Hodges, Myles Williams, Ariel Brown, Josh Jupin and Ahmad Baker.

Students at Heritage Elementary School participated in the NFL PUNT, PASS & KICK (PPK) program, a national skills competition for boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 15 to compete separately against their peers.

The program in Madison is a concerted effort between Madison City Schools and the Parks and Recreation Department.

The PPK program is the oldest NFL Youth Football program. This year PPK will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary.

Girls and boys in five separate age divisions (6-7, 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 PPK program is free – both to organizers who host a local competition and to every youngster who wants to participate.

For anyone unable to participate during school. The city competition will be Sept. 25 at Palmer Park at 1:30 p.m. ages 6-14.
