Riddell will be offering its protective technologies in the form of helmets and shoulder pads, in addition to comprehensive tutorials and educational information aimed at players, parents, coaches and administrators alike.
“AYF is excited to have football’s most respected protective equipment company on board,” said Jessica Abramovich, Executive Director of American Youth Football. “Our players will benefit from this partnership, as it fulfills our continued mission to provide them with the highest level of protection.”

I am looking for a Riddell Rep. that can help us with a helmet for my son. There was a rep at our ball park last year, but there hasn’t been one out this year. Please call me at (504) 491-5550. In Greater New Orleans Area on the North Shore.
Thank you Riddell!!!
We ordered a new Revo helmet from Continental Athletics in Gridley California. At time of picking up the helmet I was assured they are professionals and the helmet would be all we hoped for when we left. 2 Hrs later the inside pads were flat. My husband took the helmet back less then 24 hrs later and was rudely told we put a hole in it we could buy another for $75.00 at which time the man threw the pad into the box it came in and walked away. We were offered 0 resolution. I am concerned they representative Riddell due to their complete unprofessionalism.The cost was not the problem it was how they were treated when they took it back.When I did call Riddell I was informed Continental is responsible, however they did assist me right away….thanks so much!
We apologize for your sour experience with Continental Athletics. Please continue to contact us whenever you feel the need and we will help you as best we can.
Thank you.
Is there any reason your products are harder to get locally? No stores in my area offers them any more, just cheap substitutes. I’ll order online, but would have been much better to size in person.
I have been trying to find an email address to ask some questions about fitting my sons helmet. I dont want to use facebook or twitter, why dont you guys just list a email address? Please contact me As soon as possible.
My son is having a hard time with Riddell revolution helmet. Front pad causing headaches, head pain, even after multiple adjustments of the inflatable pads. Tried talking to riddell reps, but no help. Have tried less expensive schutt helmets with no pain, but less protection. Already out $200 on this riddell helmet, 2nd season with it so break in period is not the factor.
Hi, My name is Memo. I am an American teacher in Shanghai China. I have a football team with over 50 local Chinese kids. Last year I was able to rent some football equipment from a expat youth team in Beijing and we made it on the NFL China’s website. This year my program has money, and my first question is, if I order online, can I get the gear shipped to China. Second, is there any program that could donate or give us a grant for my Chinese kids to get the gear? If we want to promote this great sport in China, we need to start with the young kids. I’m trying. Anyway, any info that you can give will be helpful. Thanks.
Hello Memo,
