117 Best Softball Team Names for Girls, Boys, & Coed Teams (Curated & Ranked) + Generator
Did you know that softball was invented not as a twist on baseball but during a playful spat between fans after a Yale vs. Harvard football game?
After learning that Yale won the game on Thanksgiving Day in 1887, an alum excitedly tossed a boxing glove at his Harvard-supporting friend, who swung at the glove with a stick.[1]
The game caught on with football fans, who continued playing it with boxing gloves and broomsticks as it spread throughout the Midwest.[1]
By the mid-1930s, softball became an organized sport with three classes (fastball, slow pitch, and women’s softball), an amateur association, and a more organized set of rules.[2]
Today, around 10 million people in the U.S. play softball.[3]
When choosing the perfect name for a softball team, you should pick something that reflects your love for the sport and captures the spirit of your team.
Below, we have name options for coed, girls’, and boys’ softball teams (including some funny options).
Note that you can choose a name from any of these lists; we’ve only separated them this way because some teams are looking for gender-specific names. Feel free to choose whatever suits your team best!
Most of the options on our list will work for either fast-pitch or slow-pitch softball teams, but we’ve noted a few that are particularly good for slow-pitch teams.
If you’d rather create your own softball team name than choose one of ours, see our tips below the list. We also have a team name generator to help you find more ideas.

How to Create Your Own Softball Team Name
If none of the names on our lists above suit your team, you might want to consider creating your own unique team name.
Keep the following tips in mind while you brainstorm:
- Play up your team’s strengths. Decide what your team’s strength is and create your name around it. You could also use your weakness as a team name — perhaps by poking fun at it. In either case, this will guarantee a name that reflects your team well and has a bonding effect.
- Get inventive. Look up softball terms and synonyms, definitions, and stories to find inspiration. Have your team brainstorm words that come to mind when thinking of the team or the sport. Show that your team is not only talented on the field but off the field as well by really making your team name unique.
- Show appreciation for your team’s talent and potential. Whether you have a winning team or not, think about your team’s potential and use a descriptive word or phrase that encompasses it. Softball team names can be funny and also motivational.
