The Punt, Pass and Kick challenge will be held at the Greenville High School Football Stadium, which is located at Greenville Middle School.

This is a qualifier event for the Regional Punt, Pass and Kick challenge that will be held in Dothan the following weekend.

"If they win there, they move onto the next round at halftime of the Atlanta Falcons that's where they will crown a champion," said Jerome Harris, Greenville Parks and Recreation Director.

According to the Punt, Pass and Kick website, www.ppk-NFLyouthfootball.com, the winners of that competition will compete against 32 other winners during halftime of an NFL playoff game in January.

The date, time and location of the playoff game has yet to be determined.
