The Tennessee Titans and USA Football have recently awarded youth football programs in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama with Riddell Equipment grants.

Within those three states, thirty-five youth and high school football organizations received funding from this year’s grant cycle, totaling $26,500. Grants from Riddell are valued up to $1,000 apiece and were awarded based on need, merit, and an organization’s commitment to coaching education and best practices.

In total, $650,000 in Riddell grants were awarded to roughly 850 organizations across 49 states. The equipment grants from Riddell are one part of USA Football’s Grant Program, a comprehensive solution to help youth leagues and scholastic programs improve the quality of their athletes’ experiences while reducing program costs.

Since 2006, USA Football’s Grant Program has awarded more than $15 million in grants to youth and school-based football programs, which has directly benefitted more than 500,000 youth and high school players across 9,500 programs in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

USA Football designs and delivers premier educational, developmental, and competitive programs to advance and grow the sport. As the sport’s national governing body, member of the U.S. Olympic Committee, and organizer of the U.S. National Team for international competition, USA Football partners with leaders in medicine, child advocacy, and athletics to support positive football experiences for youth, high school, and other amateur players.
