FMS Football Helmet Replacement Program

Due to a new policy by The National Athletic Equipment Reconditioning Association (NAERA), helmets over 10 years old will no longer be recertified for use.

Fishburne football has 55 usable football helmets for the upcoming season.　However, 33 of those helmets will be decertified after the forthcoming season as they will be over 10 years old in 2013, leaving us with 22 serviceable helmets for the 2013 season. In total over the next two years we will have to replace 43 helmets.  Read more
