Junior Footy Boot Exchange
Can You Help?
As we are all aware kids feet grow fast and they grow out of footwear including footy boots at a rapid rate, with many families accumulating collections of boots that are still in perfectly useable condition.
With this in mind the club is planning to initiate a Footy Boot Exchange Program for junior players. The idea is that as kids grow out of their boots they will be able to simply come in and swap their old boots for a larger pair of (slightly) used boots that fit. Senior players will also be able to donate old boots they no longer intend to use for those teenagers with large feet!
Not only will this help ease the financial burden of kids sport it also helps to teach them to reuse and recycle things of value, reducing unnecessary waste.
At the end of each year we also intend to donate a portion of the boots to sporting charities such as Boots For All (bootsforall.org.au) or Fair Game (fairgame.org.au) that distribute used sporting equipment to disadvantaged communities, enabling those children less fortunate than ours to participate in sport as well.
More details will come once the area has been set up and is ready to use.
