HELMETS Program
The Cleveland Browns, Meijer, University Hospitals, and Xenith Helmets are working together to improve the health and safety of young athletes by committing to become USA Football Youth Coach Certification compliant!
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 Youth Coach Certification 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 $25,000 worth of new Xenith helmets. Two high schools will receive $25,000 worth of new helmets.
