Daredevils Youth Sports Organization

Co-Founder, Andre' Thomas' son, Aiden was involved in a motor vehicle accident in 2013 where he sustained a closed head injury that rendered his left side motor skills impaired to the point of the need for 3 months of occupational and physical therapy. Aiden's love of the game would not allow Andre' to prevent him from the pursuit of playing tackle football. After complete recovery in 2015, it was time for Aiden to suit up for tackle football. As one can imagine, Andre' did hours of homework on youth football helmet safety. After completing his search, it was clear that Xenith had the safest affordable youth helmet. However, the helmet is noticeably heavy and this could be detrimental to youth as their necks are not as strong to support. While continuing his research now in 2016, it appears to be clear that SG Helmets are the safest helmets for youth. While having a safety rating equivalent of Xenith's and Riddell's top rated youth helmets, SG Helmets are  half the weight which allows better head/neck control for youth.
