WHO WE ARE
NAERA (National Athletic Equipment Reconditioners Association) is an association of athletic equipment reconditioners whose mission is to increase awareness and acceptance of high quality athletic equipment reconditioning / recertification (where appropriate). Particular emphasis is directed towards reducing the risk of injury for athletic event participants. Members are licensed by NOCSAE to recertify football, lacrosse, softball/baseball helmets, and face guards.
ONE HELMET CERTIFICATION
There are NAERA members located all over the country that recondition/recertify athletic equipment. Find a location near you.
OUR PROCESS
We believe athletes should be provided with properly functioning, performance tested and clean equipment.
