Next Season connects families in your sports community to buy, sell, give away, and find youth sports equipment — without a warehouse, a middleman, or a landfill in between.
Equipment usually wears out long after a kid outgrows it. Next Season just helps it find its next player — nearby, for free, or for a fair price.
You keep the equipment. We help you find its next player. Sell it, give it away, or donate it to a family, team, or league that needs it.
We never take possession of used equipment. We just make the connection — you handle the handoff, your way.
Filter by sport, size, category, price, condition, and distance — or narrow to your AYSO region, club, school, or team.
Snap a photo, choose Sell, Give, or Donate, and post it to your community in under two minutes.
Next Season connects the family who has it with the family who needs it. You arrange pickup — we never touch the gear.
Soccer first — cleats, shin guards, balls, goals, and more from families in your community.
Post what you're looking for. We'll notify you the moment someone lists a match.
You keep the gear until pickup. We just make the connection.

A short list of what parents and coaches actually reach for — sized by age and AYSO division so first-time soccer parents aren't guessing. Prices and stock change on Amazon's end, so check the current price before buying.
We're not trying to convince you to buy new. We're helping you find the best option for your kid, this season.
When your child outgrows their equipment, don't throw it in the garage or the trash. Pass it forward to another player in your community.
Every role starts with the same few requirements. Pick your role to see exactly what to complete, and in what order.
Regions choose their own registration platform, and some change it from year to year. Everything below the first step is national AYSO and stays the same. If a screen looks different from what you expected, ask your Region's volunteer coordinator.
Find Your Region's Registration PageOnly step 1 changes. Background check, Safe Haven, SafeSport and the training courses are national AYSO requirements that don't depend on the registration platform.
Usually not everything. The volunteer application and background check are typically renewed each season, and SafeSport usually has an annual refresher. Safe Haven training is typically a one-time course. Your Region confirms what applies to you.

Next Season is an independent community project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by AYSO. Requirements can vary by Region and change over time, so confirm with your Region before relying on this checklist.
