As a parent, you play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of your child on the field. The responsibility of reconditioning and recertifying the Helmet falls on you, the player's parent. It's important to remember that this process is not a one-time task. It must be completed every two years, unless you purchase a brand-new helmet for the upcoming season. This regularity ensures that your child's safety is always a top priority. After sending the Helmet in for reconditioning, please be aware that it can take between 6 and 8 weeks, before you receive them back, depending on the calendar month. This information will help you plan ahead. As the season approaches, it's essential to keep in mind that the turnaround time can increase, potentially reaching 8 weeks or more. This means there is a risk of not having the Helmet back before the start of the new season. Being aware of this can help you plan accordingly.
