Programs · Cleats Drive

Bring a pair. Change a game.

Cleats are the first thing that keeps a kid off a team. Outgrown boots and spare gear go to Cincinnati kids who need them first, then to youth teams in Cameroon.

Cleats Drive at the Cincinnati camp

Sycamore High School · 7400 Cornell Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45242 · Directions

Hand gear in at camp check-in. You don't need to be registered for the camp to drop off.

How it works

Outgrown boots still have miles in them.

1
Bring
Cleats and turf shoes (any size, youth to adult), shin guards, balls, goalkeeper gloves, kits and training tops. Clean, laces intact, no holes.
2
Sort
Volunteers clean, pair and size everything. Anything unsafe is recycled, not passed on.
3
Deliver
Cincinnati players who need gear are matched first; the rest ships to partner youth teams in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
