Shoe Swap Coordinator

Each year the shoe swap coordinator provides an opportunity for parents to trade in their soccer shoes for another pair.  Children quickly outgrow their soccer shoes, usually faster than they wear them out, especially for the younger kids.  The shoe swap coordinator sets aside a drop box with a range of days to deposit shoes, and a range of days to pick up shoes in exchange.  Likewise, shin guards may be dropped off and traded up for a larger set.  See Shoe Swap.
The shoe swap coordinator sets out a box, typically in their side-year, where parents can drop off shoes and take a ticket.  The ticket permits them to come back later and pick up a pair of shoes.

The drop box must be small and emptied often, with the bulk of the shoes stored in the garage.
