All the people mentioning competitive sports… no. The key feature of a debutante ball is an age cohort being formally presented to society for the first time. You do it only once and together. Possibly medieval tournaments might count for first-timer jousting knights though

Kinda weird. It’s like batch-processing IPO of young women into marriage market. I’m kinda surprised the tradition has survived in the south at all. Feels vaguely like racehorse breeder’s market or something. Like those races they have specifically for first-timer young horses
