Safety is our number one priority so with that we recommend buying equipment in good condition with excellent fit. If buying a used helmet we recommend having it reconditioned & recertified.
Sizing is important -- the adjustable adult Cascade helmets fit most heads between circumference of 21.5 and 24 circumference. Smaller circumference should get a youth helmet.
By For K-4th grade we recommend obtaining any youth helmet that is in good condition, safe, and well fitting. The Cascade CS is the entry model for this age group. A helmet is not required for new K-2 players in Spring Season.*
For players 9 to 12 years old, a new helmet model can increase comfort, fit and safety. Cascade just released their new S Youth helmet which is their leading youth model. Cheaper helmet models exist and if you decide to purchase one use a comparable color scheme as the S Youth featured.
For players 7/8th through high school (~12 years and older) an adult helmet will be the way to go. Cascade recently launched their new S helmet. If you would like to purchase the R instead, use a comparable color scheme as the adult S featured.
Helmet color and Sticker Progression
We want kids to have a sense of excitement as they grow within the program and a sense of pride as they add new stickers along the way. We ask that you follow this progression on newly obtained equipment. If you’ve been using equipment which has advanced stickers for your age group, you don’t have to remove them.
K/2* -- Any helmet that meets safety and fit requirements. Recommended colors:
- Navy helmet with athletic gold visor
- White helmet
