What is powder puff football?

Powder puff football is a recreational flag football game played between girls and women. The term "powder puff" is used to describe the stereotype that women are delicate and fragile, and thus not suited for rough and tough sports like football.

The game is played with teams of typically all-female players, and rules are modified to reduce the risk of injury. Contact is limited, and instead of tackling, players pull flags off their opponent's belt to stop the play. The ball used is slightly smaller than a regular football.

Powder puff football is usually played as a fundraising event, charity event, or for fun. It is popular in high schools, colleges, and as a recreational activity among friends. It is also often played as a lead-up event to homecoming or as part of a pep rally.
