This paper is devoted to the investigation of the existence of positive solutions to the second-order system with a \(p\)-Laplacian and impulses \[ \frac{d}{dt}(\Phi_p(\dot{x}(t)))+\nabla F(t,x(t))=0,\qquad t \in [0,T], \] \[ -\Delta \Phi_p(\dot{x}(t_i))=\nabla I_i(x(t_i)), \qquad i=1,2,\dots,l, \] \[ x(0)=x(T)=0 \] by using variational methods, where \(T>0\), \(x \in \mathbb{R}^N\), \(p>1\), \(0= t_0<t_1<\ldots<t_l<t_{l+1}=T\), \(\Delta \Phi_p(\dot{x}(t_i))=\Phi_p(\dot{x}(t_i^+))-\Phi_p(\dot{x}(t_i^-))\), \(\dot{x}(t_i^+)\) and \(\dot{x}(t_i^-)\) denote, respectively, the right and left limits of \(\dot{x}(t)\) at \(t =t_i\), \(\Phi_p(x)=|x|^{p-2} x\), \(\nabla F(t,x)=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}F(t,x)\), \(\nabla I_i(x)=\left( \frac{\partial I_i}{\partial x_1},\dots, \frac{\partial I_i}{\partial x_N} \right)\), \(\nabla F(t,0) \not \equiv 0\), and \(\nabla I_i \in C((\mathbb{R^+})^N, (\mathbb{R^+})^N)\). The solutions of the problem are transferred, by considering an auxiliary problem, into the critical points of some functional, and the mountain pass theorem [see \textit{D. Guo}, Nonlinear functional analysis, Shandong Science and Technology Press, Jinan (1985)] allows to prove the existence of at least one positive solution. Some results of [\textit{J. Simon}, Lect. Notes Math. 665, 205--227 (1978; Zbl 0402.35017)], are also useful for the procedure. A particular case of this system has been studied in [\textit{X. Lin} and \textit{D. Jiang}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 321, 501--514 (2006; Zbl 1103.34015)] by using the fixed point index in cones.
