South County Trojans Elite Youth Football Continues to Set the New Safety Standard with Another Major Partnership Deal Announced with Two of the World's Premier Brands in Protective Equipment

MISSION VIEJO, Calif., Mar. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The board of directors of South County Trojans Elite Youth Football announced today that the organization has established a partnership deal with Schutt Sports, manufacturer of the Pro Gear Omega Youth and the varsity Air Maxx Hybrid 2.0, Schutt's top-of-line youth and varsity sized shoulder pads, respectively.  Members of all seven Trojans' teams, (14U, 13U, 12U, 11U, 10U, 8U, and 6U), will be equipped with the ProGear Omega (youth) and the Air Maxx Hybrid 2.0 (varsity) shoulder pads, dependent upon each player's size.  

"On the heels of announcing a partnership deal with VICIS Helmets earlier this month for the largest rollout of their advanced helmets in youth sports nationally, the South County Trojans are excited to announce this deal with Schutt and Pro Gear," said Chad Johnson, chairman of the South County Trojans' board of directors and head coach of Mission Viejo High School Football.  "We are a club-level, high-school preparatory program that is committed to providing our athletes with the best protective equipment in the world, as well as professional coaching that emphasizes proper technique to ensure the highest level of safety and the most competitive play on the field."

The Pro Gear Omega Youth shoulder pads provide some of the best technology for youth players available. Offering a pro-quality impact absorption system, a proven air management body with performance stitching, and a flat pad design that sits low for added comfort, the Omega +pads pack a serious punch. The air management body is comfortable and provides plenty of protection to soften the blows.  For more information on the Pro Gear Omega Youth, visit https://www.schuttsports.com/omega-youth-pro-gear-shoulder-pad.html.

The Schutt Air Maxx 2.0 Varsity Hybrid shoulder pads boast a deep arch cut and lightweight construction for maximum speed and mobility. The Air Management System with energy-locking D3O™ material with energy-locking molecules provides optimal impact absorption by dispersing impact energy over a wider surface area for superior protection. The Air Maxx also features a TPU Cushioning System positioned over the shoulders for added comfort.  For more information on the varsity Air Maxx, visit https://www.schuttsports.com/air-maxx-hybrid-ap.html.
