Technique
Football is a game of inches; A game of seconds. In split second decision making, the forms we learn at practice are going to dictate what we do in a game. This is why we have our coaches use USA Football teaching techniques with our donut bags, and reinforce proper tackling techniques. Ensuring head safety in every drill we do.

Technology
Technology is not what it used to be. Technology has allowed us to ensure there is a failsafe for players in case of head contact. We currently use Xenith helmets, which are inspected each and every year for safety compliance and standards. We purchase new helmets in advance of any standard bodies requirements and coaches are trained on how to properly fit head protection.

From a bump to a bruise, the Greater Eastside Football League mandates that certified Athletic Trainers are present at all games. These trainers are allowed to make decisions on behalf of player safety, and can act as the main health authority on the field on behald of our athletes. For past season, we have been extremely thankful for Proliance Orthopefics and Sports, and Vida Health, for providing us with these fantastic professionals at no cost to our club. THANK YOU!
