SNOOP YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE AND XENITH PARTNER TO ENHANCE LEAGUE-WIDE SAFETY AND HEAD PROTECTION
Los Angeles, CA (Spring, 2010) - The Snoop Youth Football League (SYFL) is proud to announce their partnership with Xenith- a company dedicated to reducing the risk and severity of brain injury through both innovation and education. The partnership will enhance the mission of both organizations by providing league-wide access to the innovative Xenith X1 football helmet as well as Xenith Academy, an educational risk reduction curriculum designed to maximize safety amongst athlete populations. In addition, Xenith will provide special league pricing on the X1 football helmet, described as the "greatest advance in helmet design in at least 30 years" by a leading medical expert. "We are excited to partner with Xenith; the goal is to enhance the safety of our players, and provide education to our league, coaches, and community members with a focus on limiting concussions," said SYFL Commissioner Haamid Wadood.
Xenith was founded with the goal of reducing the risk of concussive episodes by providing both innovation and education. Xenith's X1 football helmet features Xenith Adaptive Head Protection, an innovative system of integrated technologies designed to reduce the sudden movement of the head by adapting to different energy levels. "Our goal at Xenith," said Vin Ferrara, Xenith's founder and CEO, "has been to not only construct the smartest and most optimized helmet, but to also provide the educational information needed to complement the helmet. With this strategy, everyone has a role to play. We applaud the commitment the SYFL is taking to better ensure the well-being of its players and are excited to work together on this important initiative."
In addition to Xenith's innovative technology, the SYFL will be the first league nationwide, in its entirety, to enroll in Xenith Academy and its newly developed risk-reduction curriculum. Some of the many educational components offered on Xenith Academy include, educational resources with a focus on prevention and management of concussive episodes, and safer tackling techniques designed to reduce brain and spinal injuries.
Currently, the Pomona Steelers and Long Beach Browns wear Xenith X1's. SYFL hopes to convert many more teams this season. For special SYFL team pricing options, please contact Damon Ferrara at
