What we accept Directions

What we do

Gear in. Gear out. A place to play.

  1. Collect gear

    Cleats, balls, pads, gloves, racquets. New or used, from families and teams across LA.

  2. Get it to kids

    We sort it, clean it, and hand it off through schools and community groups that already know who needs it.

  3. Run free events

    Open community sports days. No fees, no tryouts. We bring the gear.

Donate gear

If it's still playable, we want it.

How to donate

The big goal · 2028

A Mini Olympics.

When the Olympic Games come to Los Angeles in 2028, we want to host a mini Olympics for kids who never get to play organized sports. Real events, a ceremony, and a day they'll remember.

  • Olympic athletes and coaches

    We'll draw on our Harvard-Westlake network to bring real athletes and coaches to the kids.

  • Real events and a ceremony

    Heats, medals, and an opening ceremony. The full experience, scaled for them.

  • For kids who never get the chance

    Built for the kids most likely to be watching from the sidelines.
