It will be held\u00a0 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Howdershell Park, 6800 Howdershell Road.<\/p>\n<p>The competition is free and open to all boys and girls, ages 6-15.\u00a0 All participants must show proof of age (i.e. birth certificate or baptismal record) at all levels of competition.\u00a0 Parents can register their children on-site by signing a parental Entry Form\/Release of Liability form.\u00a0 All participants may register and compete in only one local competition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are details about the format of the competition <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boys and\u00a0 girls will compete separately. Each participant is allowed one punt, one pass and one placekick as part of his or her competition.\u00a0 Kids ages 6-11 will be using a Wilson Junior Football Participants ages 12-15 will be using a Wilson Intermediate Football.<\/p>\n<p>Scores are based on both distance and accuracy.\u00a0 A participant\u2019s final score is his or her cumulative total for the three individual events.\u00a0 Scores are determined from where a participant\u2019s punt\/pass\/kick first makes contact with the ground.\u00a0 Bounces or rolls do not add to the score.\u00a0 If a participant tries to punt, pass or kick and misses the ball completely, it does not count as an attempt, and another attempt is allowed.\u00a0 The top finisher in each of the boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 divisions from the five (5) age brackets of each local competition will advance to the sectional round.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact Hazelwood Recreation Supervisor Jake Junghanel at (314) 731-0980.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NFL Punt, Pass &amp;
