Become a League Captain

Lead Your Community. Change a Child’s Game.

The Locker League was founded on one simple belief:

Kids have the power to change their communities.

League Captains are student leaders who organize sports equipment drives, inspire volunteers, and help ensure that every child has the opportunity to play.

With the support of an Adult Advisor, League Captains lead local Donation Chapters that collect, organize, and deliver sports equipment to Community Lockers serving children in their area.

Whether you’re passionate about sports, leadership, or helping others, becoming a League Captain is an opportunity to make a lasting impact.

Youth lead. Adults mentor. Communities grow stronger.
