Guardian Caps Approved by the UIL
Starting in 2025, Texas high school football teams will see some important safety upgrades on the field.

These soft-shell helmet covers are designed to reduce the impact of collisions and are already a common sight during practices. Now, they’ll be allowed in live competition, as long as they match the color of the helmet.
