Last Minute Team Names (our top 25!)
1. Last Minute Legends
- Nothing says last minute team like putting it right in your name!
2. The Misfit Toys
- The Misfits tends to be a popular name, especially for last minute teams like the photo above. Switch it up from the norm and go for a name like The Misfit Toys. You can even have custom team jerseys made with the Misfit Toys from the beloved Rudolph movie.
3. Spare Parts
- Always looking for subs for your last minute team? This name is fitting for those times where your roster is constantly changing and evolving, especially for a Mens 35+ team that may be in need of some spare parts after a long tournament weekend.
4. Last Pick

- Hopefully your thrown together team are no longer free agents after this season. Stay together as a team and win those championship games.
9. Lost Boys
- Perfect for a men’s team that is just getting to know each other. Just make sure no one actually gets lost on their way to the games.
10. Oddballs
