Funny Kickball Team Names

KickballHi.  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 CONSTANTLY - Dominion, VA
OFF IN PUBLIC - Star, TX

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…

  • Mandrake // 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.

    Uno Mas Studio Division California circa 2005.

    I like it!

  • Jess // November 6, 2007 at 3:23 pm

    scandalous!

    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!

  • Shana // 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…

    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.

  • Karen // March 11, 2008 at 12:40 pm

    How about the Cunning Stunts? FL Atlantic Winter 2008.

    Or Commotion from the Ocean (also from FL Atlantic). Love it…

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

  • Elenka // March 31, 2008 at 11:42 am

    hey, great site, dude… quite inspirational. have you ever played against teams in Brooklyn?…

    Thanks! No, I only played in the mid-Hudson.

    My nephew’s old baseball team (7yo division) was sponsored by the First National Bank of Jonesboro and was named the Explosions. Their shirts, however embarrased I was to coach in it, said… and I kid you not

    FNBJ
    EXPLOSIONS!!!!!

    Wow, so many wrong ways to interpret that one!

  • Patrick // April 24, 2008 at 3:15 pm

    test eagles
    ballsagna (like lasagna)

    I think we’ve got the dirty pun market covered!

  • Tina // May 6, 2008 at 11:09 am

    Our WAAR team name this year is Alcoholics Unanimous. I also like Booze on First–another team. Go Va. Beach WAAR!!

    WAAR? That sounds deadly. And also, a great team name you’ve got there!

  • Tim // June 2, 2008 at 1:03 am

    Just finished up a new league in Western NC. Our team name Backyardigans!

    Good one!
