• HOW TO DETERMINE HELMET SIZE

    Tools Required: Flexible Measuring Tape or String and Ruler

    Instructions: Using a flexible measuring tape (or a string and a ruler), measure the circumference of the player’s head at the widest part (approximately 1” above the eyebrows).

  • Outline of a football players head with a flexible measuring tape around it for sizing
  • If an athlete’s head size is directly in between sizes, choose the larger size.

  • Varsity helmets are generally used for larger and faster players at the high school level and above. Typically, 14 years old and older.

  • Youth helmet shells are 5% smaller than the Varsity helmets and are typically for kids under 14 and below the high school football level.
