GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) Some fans got to show off their moves on the field during Sunday's Packers game. Before the game, the Packers hosted the annual NFL Punt, Pass and Kick competition. 21 boys and 20 girls participated - all between the ages of 6 and 15.
The winners results will be matched against others across the NFL, and from there, could advance to the national contest. The kids we spoke with this morning were just excited to have made it this far. "It's really fun to do here, not every kid gets to do this in the state, so yeah, it feels good" said 15 year old Blake Marquardt.
And during half-time, two dozen kids from area schools joined the NFL's Fuel Up to Play 60 program. It's a partnership between the league and the National Dairy Council to encourage kids to make better food choices at school and get active for at least 60 minutes every day. "I think it's great reinforcement. Nice for them to do it because it's an awesome experience. It's great reinforcement for the great things they do at home every day," adds NFL Marketing representative Jacque Skowvron.
Little Chute Middle School was represented in this challenge. Students can win prizes, like a school visit from an NFL player or even Super Bowl tickets.
