The Shared Game

From Los Angeles to Latin America ⚽
Juego Compartido

We collect gently used soccer gear from players in LA and get it to young players across Latin America who need it — starting in Argentina.

Us & our goal

Started by two sisters

We are Ona and Anju Spina, and we're sisters making an effort to get athletic wear to those who need it. Our parents grew up in Argentina, and we continue to go back to visit family and see a lack of resources for the many people who dream of playing soccer and sports in general.

That is why we want to help. As soccer players ourselves, we understand how useful gear is when it comes to sports, and we want to make sure everyone has access to it, starting in Argentina.

How you can help

Two ways to get involved

Clothing drives

We host clothing drives to collect lightly worn athletic wear — bring whatever you have, and stick around to help organize (volunteer hours available).

Fundraisers

Donate or volunteer at fundraisers so we can ship gear to where it's needed and buy newer items when we're short on what's donated.

Possible upcoming drive dates

Why it matters

Don't let it sit unused

A huge amount of gently used athletic gear ends up sitting in closets or thrown away every year, even though it still has real life left in it. Every pair of cleats or shin guards we collect is one less thing headed for a landfill — and one more kid who gets to play.
