Alisa Fallon of Des Plaines, IL joined 39 other young athletes from around the country to compete in the NFL Punt, Pass and Kick National Finals on Saturday, January 12, at the Georgia Dome during the weekend of the NFL Divisional Playoffs. A special on-field award presentation aired during the Atlanta Falcons-Seattle Seahawks NFC Divisional Playoff Game on Sunday, January 13 on FOX.
Finalists competed separately in five age divisions, with the top scorer in each group crowned national champion.

The top four scorers in each age group from across the country qualified as national finalists. All participants and their guest were provided airfare, hotel accommodations and tickets to the Falcons-Seahawks NFC Divisional Playoff.
