Vista Murrieta High School in  Murrieta, CA announced it will equip its entire varsity football roster with the Vicis Zero1 helmet for the 2019 football season.

“Player safety and confidence is always our first priority,” said Eric Peterson, Head Coach at Vista Murrieta. “It’s important that our players and their parents know that we’re going to do everything we can to put them in the best equipment possible.”

More than 1,200 high school programs and 150 professional and college teams have made the switch to the Zero1. Originally introduced in 2017 to NFL and NCAA teams, the Zero1 features a deformable outer shell and a unique columnar layer designed to slow impact forces while enhancing players performance.

“Vista Murrieta has shown great leadership through its commitment to player safety,” said Dave Marver, Vicis CEO and co-founder. “We are proud to help Coach Peterson and the Vista Murrieta football program protect their athletes as they chase a championship.”
