Facemask

Facemask

Die Facemask ist ein gitterförmiges Visier des Helms beim American Football. Es gibt je nach Position unterschiedlich geformte Facemasks, ein Quarterback beispielsweise benötigt eines, durch das er sehr gut sehen kann und eine guten Überblick hat, das Helmgitter eines Offense-Liners hingegen soll den Spieler maximal schützen, weshalb es wesentlich schwerer und engmaschiger ist. Das Facemask ist nicht beweglich oder hochklappbar.

Gegnerischen Spielern darf weder in die Facemask, noch in irgendeine Öffnung des Helms hinein gefasst werden, da dies zu Genickverletzungen führen kann. Das dazugehörige Foul heißt ebenfalls Facemask und wird nach den Regeln des American Football Verband Deutschland (AFVD) mit einer Strafe von 15 Yards und einen Loss Of Down gegen das begehende Team geahndet. In der National Football League (NFL) gab es sogenannte „beabsichtigte“ und „unbeabsichtigte“ Facemask-Fouls, die entweder ebenfalls mit 15 Yards oder mit nur 5 Yards Raumverlust bestraft werden. Allerdings wurden die unbeabsichtigten Facemask-Fouls in der NFL aufgehoben und somit gilt jede Berührung mit der Facemask als beabsichtigt.
