The Free Youth Cleat Closet

Looking for youth cleats?

We have partnered with Neighborhood Thrift to create a home for our Cleat Closet. 353 E. Olive Ave; Fresno, CA 93728. Check it out during their business hours!

Wanting to donate cleats?

If you have new or barely used cleats in great conditions that you would like to donate, shoot us an email so we can arrange picking them up! setareh@leveltheplayingfieldfresno.com

Voucher program to earn money towards cleats

Apply to participate in our voucher program. Upon approval into the program, you can earn a $100 gift card towards a pair of new soccer cleats in exchange for organizing a Cleat Drive, and collecting 15 pairs of used soccer cleats. This program is intended for youth soccer players with financial limitations. Apply here.

Fundraising

We pledge to raise $10,000 per year. These funds come from grants, corporate sponsors, fundraising events, and the generous donations of local soccer fans. Our free events for local youth have been run by volunteers and we have no paid staff members so all of our fundraising dollars go back to the soccer community. But we need your help. Hit up or donate button to show us some love or email us to set up corporate sponsorship.

Leadership & Advocacy

As of June 2019, our youth board is learning about leadership and advocacy through quarterly board meetings, designing the cleat closet, assistant coaching at our soccer clinics, creating their own fundraising challenges and learning how to advocate for their peers in need.
