Okay, my son is the assistant manager of, refs at, and plays on a team at the local indoor soccer arena, and I have his password to his on-line management software! So I took a look and here are some of the local team names:

Chupacabras  
Clockwork Orange  
Getting Better  
Holy Rollers  
mutch pain (don’t know if the misspelling was intentional)  
Off the Wall  
Recycled Parts  
Salty Dogs  
SLEEP TIGHT  
spare parts  
The Other Team  
Too Old Too Slow  
Whole Dang family  
You Wish

And of course, there was the usual “Premier” and “Manchester United” and “Lobos” and “jaguars”.

I like “The Other Team” the best of that list. There have been cuter/funnier ones in past seasons, but these are pretty good, I think.

Ohh! Do the Scary Clown name and play your games in scary clown makeup and costumes. Those big shoes could help.

Two team names from my past: a friend of mine was on an intramural football team in college. They were called **The Team Formerly Known As Prince**.

And when I competed in a skeet shooting competition, my partner and I called ourselves **Stop Or My Team Will Shoot**.
