Where do we Donate our Soccer Equipment?

Where do we donate our Soccer Equipment?

Another soccer season is coming to an end for my soccer family, which means there is soccer equipment we will no longer need.

My oldest son, Chase, has already outgrown his soccer cleats after five months of use, but they still have a lot of life left in them.

While my youngest son, Aidan, will be moving up an age group next soccer season, so he will no longer need his size 3 soccer balls, which we have a ton of.

So what do we do with our unused Soccer Equipment?

Donated Used Youth Sports Equipment Our family donates all of our soccer equipment to The National Alliance For Youth Sports, which is a non-profit organization located in West Palm Beach FL. The NAYS, National Alliance For Youth Sports, has a great program called the Global Gear Drive where anyone can donate used youth soccer equipment. Even though soccer is by far their most popular sport they will except most types of donated sporting equipment.

"The Global Gear Drive was established to place sports equipment into the hands of children around the world who wish to take part in quality sports activities, but are currently unable to do so due to shortages of equipment and gear."

Below is a short list of the types of sporting equipment that can be donated to the Global Gear Drive:

Baseballs	Softballs	Basketballs
Soccer Balls	Volleyballs	Kick Balls
Tennis Balls	Mits/Gloves	Bats
