The Super Football Conference (SFC), in its ongoing effort to create the safest football environment for all of its participants, has partnered with SAFR Sports in making available SAFR Helmet Covers for the upcoming season. SAFR Helmet Covers can be attached to any new or existing helmets and are scientifically proven to reduce concussion risk by as much as 77%.
The SFC, based in northern New Jersey, is the largest high school football conference in the country. “Playing football safely is our number one priority, and protecting the head is vital to that effort,” said Dennis Nelson, SFC President. “Anything that can be done to make the game safer is in the best interest of our players, their parents, and our organization – and our decision to partner with SAFR Sports is a no brainer.”
Recent data from a three-year independent study at a major university in Pennsylvania showed the effectiveness of wearing SAFR Helmet Covers, and the results have been published in scientific journals, including the Journal of Concussion. This testing was validated in December at Virginia Tech’s Helmet Lab, where researchers concluded that adding a SAFR Helmet Coversto 5-Star helmets showed a significant reduction in concussion risk. “At SAFR, we are continually pursuing new ways to improve sports safety through science, and we credit the SFC for taking this important step to protect their youth,” said SAFR Sports CEO John Zeglinski.
