Oztag is a unique sport similar to touch football but with its own set of rules designed to encourage low levels of contact.[1]
It uses evasion, kicking, tagging, catching, and passing skills rather than tackling, making it a safe-to-play but still exciting and fast-paced sport.[2]
Oztag began as a training activity for rugby teams in the early 1990s but now has over 160,000 players and is a sport of its own, with national competitions and international associations at play.[3]
Low-contact doesn’t mean that Oztag lacks a competitive spirit, so if you’re playing, you’ll need a great team name!

How to Create Your Own Great Oztag Team Name
Similar to other recreational sports team names, there are very few restrictions as to the names you can choose for your Oztag team.
The official Oztag rulebook does not include any provisions for naming, so you can choose a name inspired by the sport, inspired by a movie or TV show you love, or just a generally fun phrase.
There are a few aspects of the players’ code of conduct to remember choosing your name:
- Maintain good sportsmanship. While this refers to treating your competitors with respect in the code of conduct, it should also extend to your team name. Don’t use any offensive or threatening language.
- Be cooperative. The code of conduct emphasizes cooperation with your coach, teammates, and competitors. While your competitors don’t need to have a say in your team name, it is a good idea to get input from your teammates when finalizing your choice.
Choose a name that reflects the interests and vibe of your team members. Lighthearted and humorous names are usually crowd-pleasers.
It’s best to choose a short and catchy team name, too — one that your team can remember with little effort and that your supporters can turn into chants!
