I'm starting a sports club for children aged 7-15 year old children at our local community centre. Its a group of volunteers arranging something for children in a deprived neighbourhood to give them something to do on weekends playing football, cricket, hockey, basketball, fencing, boxing, handball, tennis, fencing etc.

Please help me with a name. I can't think of a suitable name and have been putting off making a poster just because I cant think of a good name. Please do make some suggestions. I thought of something champs' but my daughter rolled her yes which makes me realise, I need to get a bit more creative.

Any suggestions?

The Get Active Club?
The Action Station?
Hurly Burly Club?
Come and Play?

Hmmmmm. Not sure.

Do you have initials like the Compton Basset Community Centre that could be turned into a name?

That is a wide age range. I can't imagine my 15 year old wanting to hang out with a 7 year old, so I think the name needs to appeal to both ends of the age spectrum otherwise the potential audience may not feel the club is for them.

Maybe go for a play on words with something the age group may associate with, such as 'Sportify' (Spotify). I'm sure there are better suggestions along these lines.

It is a wide range, but the children are split into groups and teams according to their age groups. But it means its really hard to think up a name that doesn't sound kiddy.

I really like Hurly burly club, but I think its only the primary school aged children that it will appeal to.

How about a single word like JUMP or MOVE or TEAM or PITCH? I think the older kids will be the ones you need to engage. The 7 year olds probably won't care what it's called.

I also quite like SPORTIFY as suggested above.

Maybe a local name. Not so local that it causes divisions or csome kids get excluded or are told by other kids that they can't join, but one that creates a bit of pride in the area and local identity. Adding a powerful animal name always seems to work in professional sports.

So something like:
Coombe Jaguars/ Coombe Tigers etc.

Then the little ones can be the cubs and the older ones the Jags or whatever. It needs to be a name that teenagers are happy to use.
