FAQs

How can I get my football prepped?

Please place an order on our Prep Services page: https://gridironfootballprep.com/products/prep-services 

We offer three different levels of prep - Basic, Standard and Advanced. Once your order is placed, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions of where to ship your football. After we receive the football, we will ship it back out in 10-14 business days. You will receive another email with tracking information once it ships.

What is the difference between the 3 prep levels?

Basic prep does not include the mud step. It only includes our pre-mud conditioning process. Once you receive your football back, you can apply mud, brush it, then it's ready to go. This level is best if you are either familiar with the prep process and want to mud it yourself or for more entry-level teams and leagues that are looking for a lower cost option.

Standard prep is our most popular level. It does include the mud step and the ball will be shipped back ready to use. This prep level is good for high schools, 7v7 leagues and lower level colleges. It is also best for mild to hot weather climates.

Advanced prep is our most involved prep process. It includes another step in the process that gets the football ready for inclement weather conditions. This level is best for avid players/teams/organizations and collegiate/pro teams. 

Do you sell footballs already prepped?

No - we provide prep services only for footballs sent to us.

What if I am a team/league with multiple footballs that I would like prepped?

We have special team pricing available - please send us an email at ek@gridironfootballprep.com or send us a note via our "contact us" page: https://gridironfootballprep.com/pages/contact-us

How can I maintain my football throughout the season after it has been prepped?

The best way to maintain the prep/tackiness of your football is to brush it regularly with a football brush. Brushing the leather, particularly in small, circular motions, helps bring the tack back to the surface of the leather and removes any dust/dirt that is sitting on the football. Additionally, you can apply a light layer of leather conditioner to re-hydrate the leather every few months.
