🎉 Happy New Year 🥳 

With tackle practices underway across the country ahead of new seasons, we’re celebrating by sharing tips during #PrepWeek 📋 

First, are you fitting helmets properly? 

Our partners at riddellsports recommend these main steps: 
 
🏈 Measure the circumference of the player’s head approximately 1” above the eyebrows and utilize Riddell’s chart at the 🔗 in our bio to select proper helmet size 

🏈 Adjust inflatable pads, verifying that the front of the helmet is approximately 1” above the player’s eyebrows and jaw pads feel firm against the face 

🏈 Ensure a proper fit by interlocking hands on top of the helmet and pressing down, with the player feeling pressure on the crown of the head and not the brow 

🏈 Adjust the chin strap while the player is holding the cup center and snug over the chin. When secured the helmet should feel comfortable and snug
