A list of 106 kickball tournament names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-14 and filed in five groups. They are our own suggestions. Every name carries a word of the game (a kick, a kicker, a base, home plate, an inning, an out, a tag, the pitcher's mound, the rubber ball, recess, the playground, the diamond) and names the event, not a team. The terms were looked up on 2026-10-14 in the English Wikipedia's Kickball article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kickball), text under CC BY-SA 4.0. No name was taken from a league, an association, a sponsor or a park. Each name was also looked up in the English Wikipedia on 2026-10-14, as an article title and as an exact phrase in the text of its articles, and every name that stood there as an event, a trophy or a title was dropped; that look-up does not find a local event. Compared by script the same day with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register, so a local tournament may share a name by coincidence.

How it works
Every one of the 106 names carries a word of the game, a kick, a base, an inning or the playground it is played on, and names the event, not a team. No league or association is in one.

The game behind the names
The pitcher rolls the ball along the ground and the kicker sends it into fair territory. A fielder makes an out by catching the kick before it lands, tagging a runner with the ball, or holding the ball on a base before a forced runner arrives. Most of Canada calls the game soccer baseball.
