Coach,
Helmets are NOT that expensive brand new.
If you do to Play-it-again sports they can be had for next to nothing.
But as much as most of us would love to help you, I seriously doubt ANY prep coach would consider the liability of it.
The helmets are not ours to begin with, and frankly I don't know of any coaches that would want to own helmets that kids would use. In this litigious world, you just can't take that chance.
Sorry, to be such a "Debbie Downer" here.
Helmets are not toys, they are life saving equipment.
In your "league" of a bunch of guys playing, you might consider NOT being the equipment coach.
I know they you are all friends and such, but you let one of your "friends" get a serious injury and you'd be surprised at the change.
If you are going to play a "little" football, consider having a waiver of liability and then NOT getting involved in equiping your frends. Let them "find" their stuff on their own.

OJW,
My sentiments also. Liability is something that must be considered in the "sue happy" society we live in and especially in this time of economic instability.
