Academy x Guardian Caps Give Back

Donating Guardian Caps to Youth Football Players

Academy Sports + Outdoors and Guardian Caps partnered to surprise 25 youth athletes of Kyle Youth Football with Guardian Caps. A Guardian Cap is a soft-shell helmet cover that is engineered to reduce the impact of helmet collisions. The 11-12-year old athletes received a Guardian Cap ahead of football season.

The donation came in advance of Academy Sports + Outdoors’ new Kyle store which is now open. Located at 5755 Kyle Pkwy, the new store hosted its grand opening celebration from September 22-24. For more information, visit academy.com/kyle
