Complete Equipment check of your Youth Football Team
This is one of the most important things you need to make sure is done correct and complete. As a youth football coach, it is your responsibility to make sure all of the players are properly equipped. All players regardless of their age or experience should have their equipment checked by the coaches. I that the younger players usually have at least one part of their equipment on wrong. The parents try their best, but you still need to recheck their work.
Please make sure you know what you are doing when checking the equipment on your youth football players. You will do far more damage if you do not know what you are doing. Each youth football administration has an equipment manger, and he is the person to start with. Ask him to go over a complete dressing of a player.
Another good idea is to have a representative from one of the companies come out and give your youth football organization a demonstration. We have Riddell come to a meeting every year and show everyone in attendance how to properly fit a helmet. We make it mandatory for all coaches in the program.
Youth football is a great sport, and we need to make sure all safety measure have been taken. Properly checking the equipment is a vital step in this process
