About S.A.F.E.CLIP
Mayfield Athletics CEO & Founder, Justin Summerville, had an idea to make the game of football safer for every player. And so, in 2014, he set out to make a difference!
WE ARE S.A.F.E.CLIP
We are a group of fiercely dedicated former athletes, parents, and fans of the game with a passion to make football safer for our own children, current players, and the players of tomorrow.
S.A.F.E.Clip is the latest advancement in facemask clip design to replace standard clips installed on a helmet at the factory or refurbisher. As scientifically proven at various third-party, accredited laboratories across the country, S.A.F.E.Clip effectively reduces impact by up to 35% (even more since these videos were produced!).
Regardless of your age, size, or athletic abilitiy, S.A.F.E.Clip is designed to fit almost every helmet and facemask combination on the market today. We have spent years designing, engineering, and testing S.A.F.E.Clip to fulfill our promise to help make football a safer game for all.
