PlayerStall Sports lockers is your recruiting edge

PlayerStall sports lockers offers a range of high-quality and durable wood lockers for all levels of sports teams, from colleges and universities to pro teams and high schools. These lockers are not only built to last, but they also provide a great way to impress potential recruits. With a standard line of athletic styles and designs to choose from, as well as the option to customize your own sports locker, PlayerStall has something to suit every team.

In today’s athletic world, there is a growing competition to produce the best facilities. Teams from all levels of competition, including Division 2, Division 3, junior colleges, and club teams, are all building new facilities and lockers are a small yet necessary and integral part of that puzzle. Professional teams, high schools, prep schools, and youth club teams are all looking to outdo their rivals on and off the field. Improvements can include everything from athletic wood lockers and turf fields to locker rooms, practice facilities, training centers, lounges, workout and weight rooms, and even waterfalls. If teams are not making these improvements, student athletes and potential free agents will sign elsewhere.

Athletic team locker rooms are a critical stop on the recruiting visit and are the selling point to any recruit. The idea is to have players spend more time together in the locker room, and old, dingy metal lockers just won’t cut it. With other schools upgrading, don’t be the last team to invest in new sports lockers. PlayerSatll’s wood lockers are built to last, with a 3-step UV cured finish that will keep your lockers looking new for years to come.

Investing in new sports lockers is not only good for the team, but it is also a great way to show alumni that their old team is still dedicated to excellence. When former players see the work, dedication, and investment being put into their old team, they will want to help in any way they can. Engaged, active alumni are more willing to give back to athletics, and new wooden lockers can add that personal touch. There is no better way to honor alumni than using donor plaques inside the wood lockers for future players to remember.

Lastly, new sports lockers also provide a secure way to store valuable items. By adding a custom lock box to your locker, you can be sure that expensive items such as iPhones, iPads, wallets, jewelry, etc. will be secure. These lock boxes, while not high-security vaults, will get the job done. A popular addition would be to include a dual USB/power outlet inside the locker, providing a convenient way to charge devices. Upgrade your team’s locker room with a PlayerStall sport locker today, and give your team the edge it needs to succeed.

Wood lockers will save you valuable time

Like PlayerStall wood lockers, Hockey players are known for their toughness, but they also understand the importance of maintaining their equipment to protect them while on the ice. Keeping your hockey equipment in top shape is crucial for your safety and performance. Here are some tips on how to maintain your skates, helmet, gloves, and apparel:

Skates:

  • Make sure they fit properly, as small skates can distract you from the game.
  • Sharp blades are safer than dull ones, so sharpen them as soon as they start to dull.
  • Clean blades after every game.
  • Check the rivets and have them adjusted by a professional if necessary.
  • Pull out sweaty insoles to dry them out in your wood locker to reduce bacteria.

Helmet:

  • Regularly check for dents and cracks, as they can weaken the outer shell and pose a safety hazard.

Gloves:

  • Don’t put them near a heat source because they can shrink and crack.
  • Hang them up to dry after every game and use a homemade sanitizing spray to freshen them up.

Jerseys:

  • Wash them thoroughly after every game.
  • Use a sports locker to hang them up and get them dry, and keep your equipment organized.

A Sports locker keep you clean

After an intense game, it’s essential to take care of your gear by cleaning and drying it thoroughly. Damp or moist equipment can lead to unpleasant odors and mold growth, which can cause damage to the gear. A great way to avoid this is by using a sports locker such as the PlayerStall to elevate your gear off the ground and into the air to dry.

To create a cleaning solution, you can mix 3/4 teaspoon of bleach into 500mL of room temperature water. This solution can be used to clean larger items such as hockey pads, but be careful not to use too much bleach as it can damage fabrics. Additionally, when cleaning equipment that has blood stains, use gloves and a solution of 3 tablespoons of bleach mixed in 5L of cold water. Scrub the affected areas and then place it in a well-ventilated area to dry.

In between washings, you can quickly disinfect your equipment with a spray solution made from mixing 5 parts water with 1 part vinegar and adding a few drops of scented essential oil. Spray this on all parts of your equipment and let it dry in a well-ventilated area. This solution is effective in eliminating harmful bacteria and bad odors.

By keeping your sports equipment clean, dry, and organized in a sports locker, you can prolong its lifespan and maintain a tidy space. The PlayerStall sports locker offers an affordable and convenient solution for storing and organizing your sports gear in your mudroom or locker room.
