Anyone play Powder Puff?
At my school it's a Junior-Senior thing.
Colors are given, red and blue [our school colors]. Blue goes to the even graduating years and Red to the odd graduating years.
It's basically a female game of touch football. At my school the guys are either coaches or cheerleaders. A new rule this year says that only football players can be coaches.
The girls pick their number and their nickname to go on their t-shirt. The Juniors have their own motto and picture for the shirt, while the Seniors have theirs.
I'm participating this year now that I'm a Junior. I'm excited!

Powder Puff is a reference to the division of an otherwise male dominated sport reserved for females regardless of the age of the participants.
Powder puff football games are an annual tradition at many high schools and universities in the United States and Canada. The game usually pits girls from the junior class against girls in the senior class or cross-town school rivals in a flag football or touch football contest. Boys from the classes, usually athletes, will dress in drag and be the cheerleaders. Funds from the ticket and concession sales for the game typically go to charity or to a dance afterwards.
The term originates from the powder puff used in cosmetics for powdering. Typical female behavior at the time the term originated included repeatedly taking out a powder puff and a small mirror to powder themselves in public.
Many schools will create T-Shirts or dresses that will be worn at different times in the school year.
Powderpuff games usually occur before Homecoming.

At my school, every class participates, and you have to wear your class colour while playing. First game is Freshmen vs. Sophomores. Then Juniors vs. Seniors and then the winners out of the two.

Not many go to the football games so there's even less for them.
