Choosing Names

A team's name is probably the second most important feature of any sport, the first being the sport itself, obviously. This is so because it is important to have an identification for the team. Without a unifying team name, you will have individual players who will stand out and have a huge fan following but it may become difficult to ensure support for the team as a whole.

Can you imagine a situation where your supporters and cheerleaders are stuck because they don't have a name to call out? Here are some tips to help you select good names. The name of a team often depends on the sport being played and the cultural background of the place the team belongs to. This will help garner attention to the team.

Ensure that all the team members agree on the name for the team. You don't want the team's name to be a reason for discord among team members. If you want to choose a funny name for your team, be careful that while it evokes a smile, it does not make a mockery of the team.

You can also name your team according to the techniques of the game, the geographical location that your team belongs to, or some fantastical creature whose prowess impresses you. Once you have zeroed in on a few names, you can also ask your supporters to send in their top choices from the selection and then make a final decision.
