Equipment Handout Location:
All football equipment is stored in the equipment storage facility located in Kinder Park. The facility is the green barn on the far side of the soccer fields by the new parking lots.

Equipment Turn In
Equipment turn in dates will announced immediately following the last regular season games. It is the parents and players responsibility to return all items in satisfactory conditions and on time. Failure to do so will result in losing your equipment sec deposit and your Green Hornets account to be flagged. You will not be able to register for future sports until the equipment is returned or replaced and paid for completely.

Any Green Hornet registered player attending a football camp requiring equipment may borrow a helmet and shoulder pads from the Green Hornets.

Use of own Helmets and Shoulder Pads

The Hornets understand that technology evolves at a rapid pace. While our protective equipment is more than adequate and meets all NOSCAE requirements, we realize that parents sometimes prefer to purchase advanced equipment for their child.

Our Helmets are NOSCAE approved and reconditioned or replaced at 2 year intervals. Shoulder pads are inspected each year and reconditioned or replaced as necessary.

Guidelines for using own equipment

• Provided the Helmets meet NOSCAE standards and are new or recertified for the current season, parents may provide their own helmets for their children.
• Helmet and facemask color MUST match the organizations.
• Shoulder Pads must meet NOSCAE guidelines.

If you intend to use your own helmet or shoulder pads, please inform the Hornets representative at equipment hand out or your coach if changes are made during season.
