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?
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 |
Frisbees | Jump Ropes | Nets |
Tennis Racquets | Equipment Bags | Ball Pumps |
Cleats | Running Shoes | Uniforms |
First Aid Kits | Saftey Gear | Whistles |
