High School Football Programs
HELMETS Program
The Cleveland Browns, Ohio Lottery, University Hospitals, and Xenith Helmets are working together to improve the health and safety of young athletes by committing to become Heads Up certified!
The HELMETS program aims at advancing player safety in high school football by awarding high school football programs with $25,000 in new Xenith football helmets. As a prerequisite, programs must commit to enhancing player health and safety by enrolling in USA Football's medically endorsed Heads Up Football® program, which offers certification clinics to educate coaches about concussion recognition and response protocols, proper equipment fitting, Heads Up Tackling, Heads Up Blocking, heat emergency preparedness and hydration, and sudden cardiac arrest.
NOMINATE AN OHIO HIGH SCHOOL
During the high school football season, you can nominate an Ohio high school to be entered for a chance to win a $1,000 athletic grant or $25,000 worth of new Xenith helmets. 16 high schools will receive $1,000 athletic grants, and 2 high schools will receive $25,000 worth of new helmets.
BECOME HEADS UP CERTIFIED TODAY!
Heads Up Football is a program designed to protect the health and safety of student-athletes. Scholastic coach certification is made up of four courses and teaches concussion recognition & response, heat preparedness & hydration, sudden cardiac arrest, proper equipment fitting, shoulder tackling and blocking.
Heads Up certifications open at the USA Football National Conference in February 2019. University Hospitals will pay for the first 1,500 individuals to be certified.
