Mouthguard manufacturer Opro has partnered with American Youth Football to produce branded mouthguards for the sports association and its players.

Opro has been granted the rights for three years, and is also the official mouthguard of the National Championships and the All Star game. Opro will provide mouthguards to every player and team who participate at the National Championships finals 2017-2021, meaning more than 20,000 mouthguards will be donated.

Opro Managing Director, David Allen, said: “We are proud and honoured to be partnered with the best and biggest youth football organization out there.  At Opro, ensuring the protection of our young athletes is something we think about every day, and we do this by providing the most comfortable, best fitting and reliable mouthguards in the world. We are also delighted to be able to show support for the National Championships programme and All Star games.”

As part of the agreement, all teams, clubs, coaches and players will be able to participate in special promotions, competitions, plus money-off offers throughout the year by signing up to www.opromouthguards.com. Team mouthguards and the American Youth Football mouthguards will be available online and through Opro’s network of team dealers and retailers across the world.

Joe Galat, President of American Youth Football, said: “ Opro is one of the most exciting partners to come on-board with AYF, providing protection to every young athlete whilst allowing them to play without distraction or hindrance. Having Opro as a partner, whose credibility in the world of professional sport is second to none and who are winners of the Queens Award for Innovation in recognition of its ground breaking work in the field of oral protection, out fitting our young athletes shows the standing we hold in the world of American football."
