Equipment

LEAGUE OWNED EQUIPMENT

The league provides helmet and shoulder pads to all tackle players as part of the registration fees.  The equipment is owned by the league and must be returned at the end of the season.  Altering  equipment in anyway voids manufacturer warranty and is against league policy.  Families are financially responsible for damaged or altered equipment.

At South Coast player safety is the top priority which is why we clean, recondition and/or certify every helmet in our inventory yearly.

Never send an item to Riddell for reconditioning without first speaking to a representative of the Riddell Consumer Services Team. Riddell is not responsible for any items sent without the proper paperwork, including the evaluation form used in your inspection.

All interior pieces should remain intact and inside your helmet when shipping for reconditioning. 

Please remove all chinstraps, visors/eye shields & mouthguards prior to shipping any helmets. These items will be discarded upon receipt. Riddell is not responsible for any helmet accessories received along with reconditioning orders.

Face masks may be left attached to helmets sent in for reconditioning. Face masks are inspected but are not reconditioned. A face mask deemed unsuitable for play during inspection will be noted during your follow-up call. You will have the opportunity to add a new face mask to your reconditioning order for an additional cost at this time.

Individual reconditioning orders average 4 weeks turnaround.
