Smarter Football

Riddell’s Smarter Football program is back!

Built on the belief that progress happens both on and off the field, Smarter Football recognizes and rewards teams that are moving the game forward. Since its launch, Riddell has provided more than 65 programs with essential equipment grants, helping them play safer, smarter, and stronger.

This year, we’re continuing that mission with our most innovative equipment yet. Riddell will award a group of high school and collegiate programs with advanced protective equipment and coaching tools to empower teams to step confidently into the future of the game.

See below for this year’s Smarter Football grant winners.
