The Punt, Pass & Kick (PPK) program is a Wisconsin State Council youth athletics competition designed to promote skill development, sportsmanship, and healthy competition among young participants.
Open to boys and girls ages 8–12, the program challenges participants in three football skill areas: punting, passing, and kicking. Local councils host competitions across the state, with winners advancing through diocesan and state levels.
The long-standing program provides a fun and structured environment for youth to compete while building confidence and community involvement through the Knights of Columbus.
First place winners now advance to the Diocesan level competition which will take place in Mauston on Sunday, Oct. 11.
