Hi,
I am from Australia, I am setting up and initiative around exporting old helmets from the USA to teams in Australia. As football is still an emerging but strong growing sport in Australia we seem to struggle to get the finances to look after our players with regularly updated helmets.
What I am looking to do is start with my club which is one of the best in Australia and organise an old helmet swap initiative where we ship your old helmets to our club. We then refurbish and use. The benefits will be setting a sister relationship between our club and your college, many teams in Australia have players in all positions getting scholarships into High School and College, this could give your college first look at some great talent coming out of Australia.
Australia has immense talent in the line positions as well as the more athletic positions and the sport is growing with many having a pathway from Rugby League/Union and AFL into either Flag or Tackle football. The transition is quite logical after the athletes understand the technicalities and techniques.
In addition we could also see cultural programs between the two programs pop up as well.
Once I secure helmets for my club I will grow the initiative until I have every team in Australia connected with a college team in the USA. I am currently a player (Right Tackle) and work in a business that is in a JV with a concussion phone app, so we have plenty of opportunity for international PR..
If you are, or know of anyone that can assist, please message me and it will be greatly appreciated.
Ken.
