FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE SUPER FOOTBALL CONFERENCE PARTNERS WITH SAFR SPORTS
TO MAKE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SAFER
(Chester Springs, PA, March 28, 2023) – The Super Football Conference, in its ongoing effort to create
the safest football environment for all of its participants, has partnered with SAFR Sports in making
available SAFR ‘ProTech’ helmet covers for the upcoming season. ProTechs can be attached to any
new or existing helmets and are scientifically proven to reduce concussion risk by as much as 77%.
The SFC, based in northern New Jersey, is the largest high school football conference in the country.
“Playing football safely is our number one priority, and protecting the head is vital to that effort,” said
Dennis Nelson, SFC President. “Anything that can be done to make the game safer is in the best
interest of our players, their parents, and our organization – and our decision to partner with SAFR
Sports is a no brainer."
Recent data from a three-year independent study at a major university in Pennsylvania showed the
effectiveness of wearing ProTechs, and the results have been published in scientific journals,
including the Journal of Concussion. This testing was validated in December at Virginia Tech’s Helmet
Lab, where researchers concluded that adding a SAFR ProTech to 5-Star helmets showed a significant
reduction in concussion risk. “At SAFR, we are continually pursuing new ways to improve sports safety
through science, and we credit the SFC for taking this important step to protect their youth,” said
SAFR Sports CEO John Zeglinski.
About SAFR
SAFR Sports is staffed by former football players and professionals, all who share the singular mission
of making football and all contact sports safer through science. SAFR’s ProTech helmet cover, worn by
nearly 300 college teams, high schools, and youth football leagues, has been proven to reduce impact
accelerations that reduce the adverse effects of repeated sub-concussive blows. Other important
advantages of the ProTech include being permitted for game-play by the National Federation of High
Schools. In addition, the ProTech is custom-manufactured to model and size, and will match the color and finish of existing helmets.
