(Before you go further, there’s an updated list here in a new website I’m building. It’s still under construction, but you can have a sneak peek now.)
Hi. I’m a mid-Hudson league WAKA kickballer, currently on the DL since breaking my ankle during the championship game (warm-up) last fall. This is my blog, which was getting major Googlage from “Funny Kickball Team Names” because I happened to title a post with that name a while back. Realizing that there was no comprehensive list of good kickball team names on the internet, I created this page.
I mined the World Adult Kickball Association (WAKA) websites looking for the most interesting names. The list below represents the cream of the crop from each league in the organization that had an informative website. I chose what I considered to be the best name in each league, with preferences given to a) the teams with the best records, b) the teams with the worst records, and c) teams that were aptly named for the division. (The best being “Untitled Kickball Project” from the Hollywood, CA division).
If you think your team name is better or that I forgot a good one or gave credit to the wrong team, leave me a note in the comments. I may update this list someday, but possibly not.

OFF IN PUBLIC – Star, TX
OFF IN CORNER – West Palm, FL
OFF IN THE PARK – Capital, DC

The orginial Death From Above team is located in Minneapolis Minnesota. CSC Sports.
Noted. I only looked at WAKA teams, however, and no one seems to date their team coinage, so the debate over who gets “first” rages on…
Posted by Mandrake on September 19, 2007 at 12:46 am
Thanks for the post! Go Team Mandrake! =]
xoxo
Yes, indeed. Go Team Mandrake, who I hope is named after the screaming plant in Harry Potter, but even if it isn’t, it’s a good name.

Smack My Pitch Up – Sawgrass, Fall Season 2007
A bit too close to misogyny for my personal taste, but, I’m a sucker for a pun. Thumbs up!
Posted by Shana on December 4, 2007 at 4:12 pm
Awesome list. I was sad that my CA Dogtown team Ridiculously Good Looking didn’t make the list, but perhaps the new AZ team I’m starting will? We’ll be called Slow Children At Play. Yay WAKA!
It’s not that that isn’t a bad name! I just picked another one. I do like the new name, though. I think I’m going to have to update my list again…
Posted by Olivia on January 14, 2008 at 12:25 pm
You should look at the Little Rock, Arkansas kickball teams (www.lrkickball.com). We had 90 teams last season so we have tons of names to check out. Just look at the schedules section for team names!
Go LRKA!
Sorry, I’m WAKA only out of respect and laziness.

How about the Cunning Stunts? FL Atlantic Winter 2008.

I like Commotion from the Ocean. It sounds like a surf movie.

Nice! Way to express your creativity!
Posted by Nate Dogg on August 19, 2008 at 10:23 am

What do you all think of the name Multiple Scorgasms for my kickball team?
I think you should do it. Many times.
Posted by wtf is kickball? on August 28, 2008 at 5:35 pm
guys, never heard of kickball, what is it? I assume it is an American invention, and therefore includes lots of padding, timeouts and the obligatory gloves that you wear in all sports? LOL
p.s. don’t take my email too seriously, just hungover today. Some funny team names btw, especially liked fighting squirrels, now I would pay to see that, gloves or no gloves!
Then why are you here? And I wish there was padding in kickball!
Posted by LESLIE DOBBS on October 7, 2008 at 3:07 pm
My coed softball teams name is FIIK and when they ask us what it stands for we say F#ck If I Know?
I like it. But doesn’t it drive you crazy when people don’t ask what it stands for?

Both perverted AND classic.
Posted by BLUEBALLS on March 1, 2009 at 4:13 pm
These names are gay!!!! How about “BALLS DEEP” or “SHITKICKERS”! I mean those are great team names.
You’re totally right. Normally I would think of you as the kind of person who was into same-sex sex, but as soon as I read those names that are completely devoid of nuance, puns or cultural references and obsessed with testicles and excrement, I realized that they could only have been created by a dude who’s totally into chicks.
Posted by BLUEBALLS on March 1, 2009 at 4:15 pm
“REDNECK NINJAS”. Copyright Down South HillBillys 2009.
Actually, that’s pretty gay.
Posted by uncensored on March 31, 2009 at 9:08 pm
I really like the name, “Going bald like patrick swayze” whatcha think…. too soon!?
Hmmmm…. I think you just want to hold out hope that nothing bad happens to him during the season. That would be awkward.

Posted by Jon on May 22, 2009 at 12:11 pm
I love this list, way to many teams from our league recycled them though. Our team was Pickled Balls. No WAKA for us, we will pay the $25/person and spend the extra 40 on booze.
Posted by Angela on June 2, 2009 at 11:18 am
I’m personally a fan of “Where My Pitches At”, but I could be a little biased since it’s been my team for the last 4 seasons

A great team name I have seen used for softball and kickball is “The Stepdads” and when someone asks why the stepdads you answer because we beat you and you hate us…Maybe it’s just a Missouri thing
Posted by Krambo on November 16, 2009 at 8:02 pm
“2 in the Pink” is a great team name in my league. I’m thinking of switching my team to “1 in the stink” and wearing brown. We suck….

Just out of curiosity, what did you mean about Boca having the best website in all of WAKA? I play in Boca and I was wondering if it was because of our award winning GMOT, of which I am proud to say I’m a writer

I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, where as far as I know we do not have any kickball leagues. We do, however;play in an annual “Has Been” Kickball Tournament full of catholic school graduates that grew up playing organized and umpired kickball on asphalt with a soccer-like ball. Last year’s tournament champions received hooded sweatshirts that read “Kickin’ Balls and Takin’ Names”.
