Passback
-The August Cup collects gently used soccer gear (jerseys, shorts,
shoes, cleats, socks, gloves, etc) for Passback, the national program
sponsored by the US Soccer Foundation and Major League Soccer that
recycles our old gear so that others can enjoy the Beautiful Sport.
Through Passback, thousands of pieces of usable gear to soccer programs

including Afghanistan, Cameroon, and Iraq. Clean out those closets
so others can play, and look for our collection bins next to the
