Timecodes:
hi guys I'm Sean Mooney this is my
assistant whoo we will today we will be
showing you how to properly size a
helmet for the basic player we're not
going for style points here with the
tilt who has the best tilt or flow
coming out the back we're going to show
you the parents out there and people who
are just starting lacrosse the correct
way to size a lacrosse helmet so first
step obviously is putting it on there's
gonna be three things we're going for
here we're gonna be one is always
comfort too we're looking for the
correct vision and the third thing which
we'll get to at the last step is how to
size the chinstrap correctly so first
off as you can see you don't want to
tilt it too far you don't want it up
like this you want to have it tilted
nice that he is seeing straight through
this top bar here not too tight not
tight on the sides there are adjustable
pads that come with every helmet it's
velcro you just pop those in and out
turning around after you get the vision
and the comfort down you want to squeeze
the adjustable clip back here until it
fits right does that feel good perfect
alright if it's too tight you just push
this gray button a little bit and adjust
it accordingly once that is set you have
the vision and the comfort down we're
going to move forward with the chin
strap you're going to start out you'll
have the Cascade these are the ones
that'll be clipped up top here we're
gonna come through the side going
through the top bar you do not want to
go through any of these down here right
up top here clip it in same thing on the
other side here follow it through
clip it in as well and then replace the
helmet on just to go over it again the
vision not down like this with the tilt
not too high up just right so you can
see out of the front turn it around
adjust the adjustable clip in the back
until it's nice and snug
there should be no rattling at all a
little rattle is okay but try not to
have any you want to make sure it's nice
and safe for sizing the chinstrap you
want to have the player hold it to their
chin where it's most comfortable for
them and turn to the side here you'll
see all this slack here you want to get
this out so you're going to unclip it
you're going to measure with your thumb
to where the lock is right here adjust
it keep your finger there for
measurement start with the top ones you
don't want to keep bouncing around with
the sides you'll get a crooked look if
you try to do both of the same sides at
the same time so switch on over to hear
it again measure this adjust it down
pull it through clip
now you could start with the bottom ones
the bottom ones you don't want to
actually pull too much you just want it
to be snug and feel as comfortable as
possible again usually using the
measuring system put it here slide it
down get that slack out of there click
that in there
spin it around same thing on this side
you just want to get the slack out slide
it through clip it in and you should be
good to go notice there's no rattle
notice it's nice and comfortable make
sure that you are looking out the top
bar it's not about the style points it's
not about looking like you first
starting off playing you want to be able
to see outside the top of the bar and
there you have it any questions comment
