We will have inventory from our vendor on hand. Once you try on the pants and pay for them, you can take them home. You must contact the vendor directly if there are any issues with the pants.

Equipment Rental: Equipment Return: Thurs, August 6Tues, October 13 5:30-7:00 pm5:30-7:00 pm Comm Ed Ctr GymComm Ed Ctr Basement 2026 Season: Community Education no longer provides helmets and shoulder pads for 5th—and 6th-grade football. Participants are required to supply their own helmets, shoulder pads, and pants. Players may purchase their equipment from any vendor they choose as long as it is approved for youth football competitions. To make this transition smoother for our football families, Delano Community Education has partnered with All Seasons Sports to offer helmet and shoulder pad rentals. Equipment Rental Helmet (white shell with grey facemask): $75.00/season (Retail cost: $180.00) Shoulder pads: $50.00/season (Retail cost: $130.00) Renting equipment offers significant benefits. For example, you can rent a helmet and shoulder pads for a season for just $125, compared to the retail price of $310. Additionally, you can easily return the equipment at the end of the season, rather than storing it or finding a way to get rid of it if your player outgrows it between seasons. If your player participates in the Community Education program for two seasons, you’ll invest less in equipment ($250 compared to $310) than if you purchase it outright. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to another exciting football season! Program Prerequisites: Participants should be able to run, jump, make lateral movements, throw and catch a football, follow 2-3 step directions, verbally communicate with peers and coaches, and work as a team with their peers.
