How to pick a team name
The best name is the one the whole team will still like in March.
- 1
Say it out loud first
The name gets announced at every battle. If it is hard to say or easy to mishear, keep looking.
- 2
Check the list before you commit
If possible, review the sign-up sheet to ensure your name is unique. Have a backup ready.
- 3
Let the whole team vote
Narrow it to three, then vote. A name every kid picked is a name every kid will cheer for.
- 4
Make it yours
Once you have a name, put it on something. Matching T-shirts, hand-drawn bookmarks, a banner for battle day, even a team cheer. Gear turns a name into a team.
