Football Equipment

Since claims resulting from injuries may include allegations of defective condition of the equipment, districts must adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Football equipment* shall not be loaned, rented, sold or donated to any outside agency.
2. Football equipment* shall not be loaned, rented, sold or donated to an individual or student to be used outside the district’s program, unless the equipment is reexamined by a district certified coach prior to use within the year of certification.

 Football equipment is defined as helmets and shoulder pads and/or any other protective equipment that requires certification before reuse.
