Waco little league football team needs help purchasing football helmets

Despite summer-long fundraising efforts from teachers and coaches, a Waco little league football team is 75 helmets short of being able to play during the season opener next week.

WACO, TX — A Waco little league football team is asking for the community's help to buy football helmets it needs to play this season.

Waco Youth United introduced the teams and cheerleaders at their opening day Aug. 25.

Their season starts Sept. 1, but they won't be able to play due to the lack of proper equipment. All summer, parents and coaches raised funds to get the players what they need. Despite those efforts they are still down 75 helmets.

“Well of course safety is our number one priority,” Coach Ashley Royal said. “We want to ensure that every child who is registered in our league gets a chance to play. It is vital that they have those helmets by the start of our next season.”
