Helmet Information
posted 5/22/2013 by Administrator
Dear Parents,
Hopefully, all who attended Walpole Day got a chance to see the helmet display at the Youth Football table. In past years, Walpole Youth Football worked with a helmet distributor to provide those parents that wished to purchase a new helmet for their young player. This year we are providing the same opportunity. Walpole Youth Football provides a clean, reconditioned, NOCSAE-inspected and approved helmet to all players as part of the annual fee, so this program is entirely optional.
This program was started only to streamline and accommodate those parents who inquired about purchasing new helmets. Rather than scrambling to local sporting goods shops, we found it easier to make a bulk order, and we get a better deal from the distributor. Like in years past, we are offering the Schutt Youth DNA Pro+ ($160). Also, we are offering a brand new helmet, SchuttYouthVengeance ($190).
Also because some have asked, we can order Riddell Helmets as well: Youth 360: ($245) and Youth Speed ($205)
We have found that boys on the A,B, C, and D levels probably see more benefits from these helmets than the younger kids, only because they are slightly larger and heavier than the other helmets in stock. These helmets, with care, should last 4 seasons. They need to be reconditioned every other season.
Also, for those that have asked, NO, these helmets cannot be used at the high school level. High School and beyond have thicker plastic in their helmets, and need to be approved as such.
Rest assured, this program is only an accommodation to make it easier for those parents that wish to purchase a new helmet for their kids, but the helmets issued by the league are high quality, safe, and inspected, in fact, many are these very same helmets.
