Key Considerations

1. Safety Standards
Ensure the helmet meets safety standards set by organizations like NOCSAE (National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment). Look for a NOCSAE-certified stamp on the helmet.

​

2. Proper Fit
The helmet should fit snugly on the head without being too tight or too loose. Measure the circumference of the player's head and match it to the helmet's size chart. It should sit level on the head, covering the temples and the back of the head while allowing good visibility.

​

3. Adjustability
Look for helmets with adjustable straps or padding to customize the fit for added comfort and stability.

4. Material and Construction
Opt for helmets made from durable, impact-resistant materials like ABS plastic or high-impact foam. Consider ventilation to prevent overheating during play.

​

5. Facemask
Depending on the player's preference or league regulations, you might need a helmet with an attached facemask for added facial protection. Ensure the facemask doesn't obstruct vision or hinder performance.

​

6. Comfort and Padding
Check for ample padding inside the helmet for cushioning and shock absorption. Comfortable padding reduces discomfort during extended wear.

​

7. Visor Compatibility
Some helmets come with pre-drilled holes or attachments for visors. If the player prefers or requires a visor for sun protection or glare reduction, ensure the helmet is compatible.

​

8. League Regulations
Confirm that the selected helmet complies with any specific league or organization regulations regarding helmet types, colors, or additional features.
