Forward Pass Program

Wondering what to do with those old cleats?

Are you wondering what to do with all those outgrown cleats sitting in the back of your child’s closet or that size 3 soccer ball you no longer need?  Donegal Youth Soccer is proud to give back to our community. We believe that everybody has the right to play the game and to feel that thrill and excitement that comes from the ultimate challenge.  If you have gently used soccer equipment, consider donating them to us and we will pass them along to families in need within our community. We will accept your gently used soccer cleats, shin guards, soccer balls and most other slightly used soccer equipment.

If you would like to donate your equipment, or are in need of equipment for the upcoming season, please contact our equipment manager.
