The present invention provides an athletic bag for conveniently carrying, storing and airing out athletic equipment. To accomplish this, the bag is positionable between an open mode preventing access to an interior volume thereof and an open mode permitting access to the interior volume. In the open mode, the bag is orientable to an upright position such that it may stand unaided providing access to the interior of the bag in a locker-type fashion. Further, specialized compartments are provided for stowing the athletic equipment such that itemized pieces thereof are not commingled within the interior volume of the bag. Further, the bag may be hung for enhancing air circulation around the athletic equipment such that it quickly dries out. Advantageously, the panels to which the athletic equipment is secured are removably attached to the interior compartment of the athletic bag and therefore may be removed and hung separately to further enhance drying of the athletic equipment and to also facilitate laundering of the fabric enclosure.
