Do Guardian Caps Fit Youth?

The Mission Behind Guardian Caps
Are you a parent of a youth player who is dedicated to better protecting them on the field? When it comes to buying equipment for your child, it’s crucial to prioritize their well-being, and Guardian Caps are an option for your youth players. While you may have heard of Guardian Caps being mandated by the NFL and worn by top teams, did you know that our mission has always been focused on youth players?
Designed with Youth in Mind
At Guardian Sports our passion lies in better protecting athletes, especially youth, by developing innovative technologies that enhance sports equipment. Guardian Caps were created for our younger athletes, and their proven effectiveness led to adoption at the high school, college, and NFL levels. Our mission remains the same: to advance equipment technology and close the gap between what athletes need and what the market currently offers.


When the Guardian Cap was first invented in 2010, our focus wasn’t on the NFL or college players, it was to better protect the youngest football players from the impacts of daily blows. A question we often receive is “Do Guardian Caps fit youth?” The Guardian Cap is one-size-fits-all, accommodating players of all sizes. The elastic attachment straps stretch to fit all sizes, makes, and models of helmets, making this a perfect addition to your child’s equipment arsenal for this upcoming season!
We Are Proud to Partner with American Youth Football
Guardian continues to push forward in the youth market by partnering with AYF, the nation’s largest youth football organization


Testimonials from Satisfied Parents

“I love the Guardian Caps because 1. they are lightweight 2. they are really easy to attach to any size helmet 3. provide an extra layer of support for young athletes.”
Mary Stuart Ratledge
“As a mom, it can never be too much to have protection. I’m not looking at the four years at UGA, I’m looking at when Tate’s a dad, when he has kids, that his cognitive ability will be there. The protection it offers him, is so much more.”
Caps Mom
“Guardian Caps are really important to give me peace of mind as a mom.”
Caps Dad
“There’s no magic solution to keeping a kid safe, but this is a key piece to the puzzle.”
