How Do I Determine the Right Football Helmet Size and Fit?
Proper helmet fit is extremely important for players. While we provide sizing guides to help you select a helmet, it is not possible to properly fit a football helmet online.
Field-Use Helmet Sizing:
-
Age: Players ages 14 and older should transition to an adult football helmet, following applicable league and manufacturer requirements.
-
Measure: Using a soft measuring tape, measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows, keeping the tape level around your head.
-
Check the Size Chart: Refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart on the helmet's product page to determine which size corresponds to your measurement.
-
Verify the Fit: Head shapes vary, and measurements alone cannot guarantee a proper fit. Helmets should be professionally fitted and checked in person before being used on the field.
Important: Green Gridiron cannot guarantee that a helmet will fit properly based on measurements provided online. No football helmet can prevent all head injuries or guarantee protection from injury.
