How Community Lockers Work
Simple. Local. Built on Kindness.
Community Lockers make it easy for children to access the sports equipment they need—while giving families a simple way to pass equipment along when it’s no longer being used.
The idea is simple: Take what you need. Leave what you have outgrown.
Together, we can keep more children in the game.
- 1 -

Use our interactive map to locate the Community Locker nearest you.

Take What You Need
If your child needs equipment to participate in sports, you’re welcome to take what fits their current needs.
There is no cost, no application, and no requirement to return the equipment.
- 3 -
Enjoy the Season
The equipment is yours to use.
We hope it helps your child build confidence, make new friends, stay active, and experience the joy of being part of a team.

Leave What You’ve Outgrown
When the equipment is no longer needed and is still in good condition, consider passing it forward so another child can enjoy it.
You can donate it through one of our Donation Chapters, where League Captains clean, inspect, and organize equipment before restocking Community Lockers.
