Innovation whose time is now...
Head injuries and concussions are in the headlines of the sports pages far too frequently and prematurely ending the careers of too many players.
After more than a decade of research (supported in part by the National Institutes of Health), put to the test in the crucible of elite college and high school football stadiums and practice fields, over one-quarter of a million impacts recorded and analyzed, and matured in the Riddell R&D process — the Sideline Response System™ is ready to its place in the arsenal against concussions.

Press Releases:
"It is very, very important to the game of football that equipment makers create products that are supported with research.
Riddell cares for player safety and protection and for that I'm thankful.
I love this game, I played, my kids play and I want to keep it going.
It's pretty exciting that they (Riddell) are doing this work and research.
They should be proud.
I hope more schools use it."
