🥇 Top 5 Best BSSC Team Names of 2024

5. Kickelob Ultra (Kickball)

A kickball team with a crisp and clever name that riffs on the popular low-cal beer, Michelob Ultra. Whether or not they win on the field, they’ve definitely nailed the funny team name game.

4. Past Our Primetime (Flag Football)

This team embraces its veteran status with pride. Their name cleverly plays off the concept of primetime football, making it one of the most relatable and punny flag football team names we’ve seen this year.

3. How I Set Your Mother (Volleyball)

A crowd favorite and a classic combo of pop culture and volleyball terminology. Swapping “met” for “set” in the beloved sitcom title “How I Met Your Mother” results in one of the best volleyball team names of the year.

2. Kobe Wan Kenobi (Basketball)

This basketball team name wins for blending the legacy of NBA legend Kobe Bryant with the iconic Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. A slam dunk for fans of both Star Wars and hoops—regardless of your allegiance to Boston or LA.

1. Here Come the Runs (Softball)

Taking the top spot is this hilarious softball team name with a cheeky double entendre. It’s equal parts Beatles reference and bathroom humor—classic rec league comedy.

🏅 Honorable Mentions

These teams didn’t crack the top 5, but they definitely deserve recognition:

• Shinguardians of the Galaxy (Soccer) – Marvel fans, assemble!

• Chewblocka (Volleyball) – Wookiees play defense too.

• Hatrick Swayze (Soccer) – Dirty dancing with some clean goals.
