USA Football has entered into new partnerships with BSN Sports and Profound Insurance Programs to help lower costs for youth football organizations through its grant program.

Expanded for 2021, USA Football’s Grant Program helps youth leagues and teams lower program costs. Organizations that enrolled with USA Football prior to April 1, 2021 are eligible to receive exclusive discounts from both BSN Sports and Profound Insurance Programs this season.

BSN Sports already serves as USA Football’s exclusive uniform partner within its grant program and a preferred apparel and equipment partner for USA Football-enrolled organizations. Leagues that met the April 1 enrollment deadline can receive discounts toward uniform purchases. Discounts are based on order size and league information.

“Our team is excited to establish this partnership with USA Football, which amplifies the opportunities for kids and communities to access and participate in the valuable experiences within youth sports,” said BSN VP–sales Ben Connery. “USA Football-enrolled organizations will benefit from the selection and preferred pricing that BSN Sports brings to the table.”

“Understanding the financial hardships youth sports organizations have faced due to the pandemic, we reimagined our grant program to ensure its reach and impact will be greater than ever before,” adds USA Football CEO and executive director Scott Hallenbeck. “We’re proud to partner with …BSN Sports and Profound Insurance Programs. Through their support, youth leagues can advance their operations and turn their focus to their kids, welcoming them back to the field for the fun and fitness of football that so many have missed.”

Acrisure LLC, the exclusive insurance program administrator of USA Football, and Profound Insurance Programs have more than 30 years of experience in youth and professional sports as well as a first-of-its-kind coverage. New this year is Season Protector, a program offering registration protection and illness and injury coverage that can reimburse a percentage of registration fees and equipment rentals when a covered loss – including COVID-19 illness – occurs during the season.
