VIENNA, VIRGINIA - - Reconditioning guidelines are provided by USA Football to offer assistance to youth football programs in search of the best way to keep their equipment usable.
Reconditioning provides a cost-effective way to keep equipment in like-new condition, at a fraction of the cost.
Here are some of the best practices for reconditioning:
Use a reconditioning firm that has been approved by the equipment manufacturer.
When reconditioning, make sure only replacement parts supplied or approved by the equipment manufacturer are used.
Adopt a regular equipment reconditioning program.
Follow helmet manufacturers’ guidelines for reconditioning. It is wise to recondition any helmet at least every two years. Helmets subject to substantial contact should be reconditioned after one season.
Recommendations from the reconditioner regarding equipment repair should be strictly followed.
Rejected or retired helmets should be destroyed or made unusable.
Use reconditioning as a key component to your equipment maintenance and risk management programs.
