JSerra Catholic High School to Convert Entire Football Roster to VICIS ZERO1 Helmets

SEATTLE, Jan. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- JSerra Catholic School, one of the top-ranked high school teams in the country, announced today it has selected the VICIS ZERO1 helmet for its football program for the 2019 season. The ZERO1 has the highest performance rating in National Football League (NFL) and National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) helmet performance testing.

JSerra's decision to convert its entire team to the ZERO1 is the latest example of a growing commitment from high schools around the country to protect student athletes with the most technologically advanced equipment. More than 1,200 high school programs and 150 professional and college teams have made the switch to the ZERO1. Originally introduced in 2017 to NFL and NCAA teams, the ZERO1 features a deformable outer shell and a unique columnar layer designed to slow impact forces while enhancing players performance.

"Our dedication to excellence on the field is matched only by our commitment to the health and safety of our student athletes," said Pat Harlow, Head Coach at JSerra Catholic. "We are proud to invest in a helmet that is highly engineered to ensure our players are protected while playing the game they love."

"JSerra has shown great leadership through their commitment to player safety," said Dave Marver, VICIS CEO and co-founder. "We are proud to help Coach Harlow and the JSerra football program protect their athletes while continuing to perform at a perennially high level."
