If you’ve ever played in a trivia competition in a bar, you know full well how important a team name can be. It’s fun to think of something entertaining that will draw laughs and make people remember you. A pickleball tournament is no different, especially when you have the creative freedom to think of a name for the whole squad. You can choose from one of these 15 funny pickleball team names or build your own using the template below.
A Method to the Madness
First, let’s discuss the winning formula for a pickleball team name. For starters, try to include game-specific terminology. Using “touchdown” or “home run” won’t work for a pickleball team, but fortunately, pickleball has plenty of terms you can play around with to come up with something fun.
A team name should also be short and sweet. If your team’s name is as long as that of Derek Zoolander’s school, it’s time to return to the drawing board. Similarly, using adjectives is fine, but make sure to limit the number you use. Finally, using an inside joke will give you and your friends a good laugh, and toeing that line of appropriateness and controversy can be fun.
Amazing Alliteration
If there’s anything to learn from professional wrestling, it’s that alliteration slaps—think Roman Reigns, Bianca Bel Air, and Hulk Hogan. Using the fun formula above, try one of these five fabulous and fiery team names:
1. Pickle Power
2. The Pickle Pack
3. The Dangerous Dinkers
4. Forehand Fathers
5. Peter Piper’s Pickled Players
Play on Terms
We gave you a taste of incorporating pickleball terminology above so that you can see what a great team name can look like. Besides “pickle,” “dink,” and “aces,” several other pickleball-centric terms can be fun to play with. For example, feel free to use one of these five:
1. The Volley of Death
2. Everything but the Kitchen Dink
3. Backhanded Compliments
4. Great Balls of Fire
5. Dinky McDinkerface
Controversy Creates Laughs
The previous examples are safe for any tournament, but you may want to ruffle some feathers and gain a few chuckles from other competitors with a controversial team name. The idea is to keep it clean but also humorous:
1. Don’t Dink and Drive
2. Mid-Court Crisis
3. Victorious Secret
4. Baby’s Got Backhands
5. Scared Hitless
If you enjoyed these 15 funny pickleball team names to choose from, feel free to use one for your tournament. However, other teams may have similar ideas, so you may have to think outside the box while using the criteria above to come up with a creative, fun name.
