5 Things to Know Before Buying Football Gear

1.  Helmet certification (NOCSAE) is mandatory for organized play.  Schutt are NFL-approved; always verify the certification sticker before buying used.

2.  Shoulder pad sizing is based on chest measurement, not jersey size. Brands like Douglas and Schutt offer position-specific pads — don't assume a single size works for linemen and receivers.

3.   Safety research consistently recommends Schutt, as its top-rated helmet choices — worth considering even for youth leagues.

4.  Molded cleats (Under Armour) are allowed almost everywhere. Detachable cleats may be restricted in some youth leagues — always check before purchasing.

5.  Order team uniforms at least 4–6 weeks before the season. Cal Pro's in-house customization is faster than outside vendors, but custom runs still take time.
