Spanish to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation
this is a specific use for the peson in charge of a team's equipment. It is NOT the theater term "prop manager". Do we have a term for this in English?
Thanks

Thanks Noni, and for the reference. Nope, I haven't heard of a kit woman either. Let's face it, sweaty dressing rooms are no place for ladies.

Kit man

" He played almost of his games at full back winning two Welsh caps and later became the national team's kit man. "

And in this case it would have been a man - we haven't yet reached the stage where a female would brave the changing rooms, I don't think!

Utilero

Se llama utillero al empleado de un club deportivo encargado de mantener a en uso y a disposición de los deportistas el material necesario para la práctica del deporte: indumentaria, balones, instrumentos de juego, etc.
El utillero realiza labores de lavado, reparación y cosido de las prendas que utilizan los deportistas en sus encuentros de fin de semana y en los entrenamientos entre semana. Su trabajo se centra en las botas, ropa de entrenamiento, indumentaria oficial, etc. Así mismo, vela para que estén disponibles los dorsales y útiles necesarios para el desempeño de la actividad deportiva. El utillero prepara las bolsas con el material en los desplazamientos y lo distribuye en las taquillas de los jugadores cuando disputan partidos locales. En muchas ocasiones, sobre todo, en categorías inferiores, el utillero asume funciones de todo tipo dentro del club, desde el mantenimiento de las instalaciones, hasta labores de logística y manutención del equipo en los desplazamientos.
