This looks like homework?
a. Each of the players need a locker.
Singular....needs?
Each of the players NEEDS a locker. You can ignore "of the players".
Think of it as....
Each (player) needs a locker.
They NEED lockers.
Players need lockers.
Sue, one of the players, needs a special locker.
Hope that helps.
