Equipment Room Ball Inflation Checklist
A simple equipment room checklist for ball inflation, pressure targets, pump storage, charging, and ready racks.
An equipment room ball inflation checklist keeps the job from depending on memory. That matters when several teams, coaches, and assistants share equipment.
The checklist does not need to be fancy. It needs to be visible and easy to follow.
The checklist
Check ball condition and valve before inserting the needle.
Use the posted target for that sport and ball type.
Inflate or deflate to the target pressure.
Keep checked balls separate so the job does not restart.
Pump storage
Store the pump, charging cable, spare needles, and pressure target sheet in one place. A good system beats a good memory.
How TorrX simplifies it
TorrX combines the gauge and pump job, which removes a handoff in the checklist. That is helpful in a busy room.
