Decorating Ideas for School Lockers for Basketball Players

Many basketball players go through extensive preparation before the game, trying to get their head into the moment and going through the same routines game in and game out in hopes of finding the best mental state. A locker decorated with items that are dear to you can help you find the zone that you need to be in at the start of each game.

  1. Players

    • A basketball locker should reflect who you are as a player. If you're a stellar three-point thrower, put up photos of players such as Reggie Miller and Ray Allen. These hoopsters have proven through their careers that they're among the best in the National Basketball Association at tallying three-pointers. Create a collage or just put up the photos randomly in your locker to remind yourself every game about which type of player you aspire to become.

    Team

    • Teamwork is an essential component in playing for a successful basketball team. Post to the door of your locker photos and other items from your favorite basketball team, including some motivational quotes from a few players on the team for whom you have respect. Post the record of your favorite team and update it frequently as a reminder of where you want your team to be in the league standings.

    Memorabilia

    • A locker full of memorabilia can remind you of where you want to be further into your career when you're playing in the NBA. Not much can motivate you more than going to an actual game, but the items you keep from when you were there can also be an enforcer. Items such as programs, 50/50 tickets, banners, posters and other items will remind you about your ultimate goal.

    Stats

    • If you play on a grade school basketball team, chances are that your stats aren't tallied. Maybe you have a book at home where you write the stats when you remember. But putting a chart on your locker door with a pen held to it with a magnet will remind you after every home game to record your stats. Pads of paper with magnets on the back will allow you to easily take your stat chart with you to away games as well.
