A face guard for a sport helmet, such as a rigid, protective baseball batting helmet or football helmet, is provided with one or more resilient couplings that permit the face guard grid to be attached to the helmet at ear hole openings in the side flaps of the helmet. The resilient couplings have one or more radial, annular channels defined therein. At least one of these channels is of a size to fit snugly within the confines of a side flap ear opening on the helmet. The structure of the resilient coupling thereby defines a resiliently compressible helmet attachment flange for insertion through an ear opening in one of the ear flaps of the helmet and a resiliently compressible mounting clip attachment flange for insertion into the helmet attachment opening of the mounting clip. The face guard may thereby be releaseably coupled to and detached from the sport helmet without any modification to the helmet whatsoever and in a manner that protects the helmet from damage.
