At my high school, Powder Puff was a sports event that showcased girls playing football (for us, it was the juniors vs. the seniors), and during halftime, the guys showed off their cheerleading routines.
Similar to what was posted above-
As stated above, it is a tradition at American high schools to have one game a year (just for fun) where girls are the "football players" & boys are the "cheerleaders". The football that is played is flag football however, so no need to suit up in all of the helmet & gear typically. The girls that sign up to play are divided up by grade at most schools(freshmen, sophomore, junior, senior) and then each team is "coached" by one or two football players from that grade usually. The boys that sign up to cheer on their age group wear some assortment of old cheerleading uniforms or skirts. Hilarity ensues. Sometimes there are T-shirts made for the event & they get sold as a fundraiser for some school organization or another.
This is my CP's team. They're so good!
Love this! Didn't you just have someone leave? Looks like they're missing out!
Oh, yes. I actually think it made them stronger as a team.
At my school, its Juniors vs. Seniors. Girls play flag football (it gets WAY more intense than just pulling flags), the boys are cheerleaders, and anyone who wants to do it can join. We (the boys) do sidelines throughout the game, and at halftime we perform a routine. All of the proceeds from our game goes to a local chapter of the M.S. (multiple sclerosis) Society!
