Powderpuff (sports)

In the United States and Canada, powderpuff football games are flag football or touch football games between girls from junior and senior classes or cross-town school rivals. Funds from the ticket and concession sales for the game typically go to charity, the senior class, or to a dance. The games are an annual tradition at many high schools and universities.

The term originates from the powder puff, the soft material used for the application of cosmetic face powder.

Many schools create T-shirts for the games. The games usually occur before homecoming.
