Making Equipment Management a Win for Everyone

For the Westside High School softball program, managing gear used to mean late nights and long hours—especially at the start of the season. With multiple teams and no dedicated equipment manager, checkout night was a grind: digging through bins, manually logging gear assignments, hoping everything was accounted for.

"We used to spend hours just getting gear checked out. This time, we did both teams in under 30 minutes. That's a game changer."

When Westside adopted GearLocker, everything changed. In under 30 minutes, both varsity and JV teams were fully outfitted—with every item logged, confirmed, and tied to a player. No paper. No confusion. No spreadsheets.

Built for Real Coaches, Not Just Equipment Managers

GearLocker gave the Westside coaching staff what they needed most: speed, clarity, and control.

  • A clean, intuitive interface that required little training
  • A gear database that made item lookup and player assignment instant
  • Real-time confirmation and automatic recordkeeping

With just a few clicks, gear checkout went from chore to checklist.

Operational Clarity Meets Player Accountability

GearLocker didn't just streamline the process—it raised the bar for accountability. Every item was assigned to an athlete, and every coach had visibility into who had what.

The result? Less gear loss, less confusion, and more ownership across the board.

Scaling Confidence Across the Program

What stood out to Westside coaches wasn't just the speed or simplicity—it was the confidence they walked away with. For the first time, gear was managed with a system, not just good intentions.

That's GearLocker's real value: giving coaches the tools to run like a well-oiled program, without needing to be logistics experts.
