Kick or Treat, Kickin' Aces and Kickball Wizards aren't necessarily the best team names in the Charleston Kickball Association, but they're among the most family friendly for print.
You'll have to use your imagination for the rest (or search Google). The two syllables of the sport - kick and ball - are widely used. Puns are embraced. Racy is encouraged.
But team names might be the least important aspect of Charleston's fledgling kickball league. The fellowship, the camaraderie and the networking are reasons why the summer league, created in 2012, has evolved to include more than a dozen teams and a couple hundred players.
"It's hard for people who aren't from West Virginia to move to Charleston and get plugged in," said Wesley Page, a Charleston lawyer who created the league. "I love Charleston, I love West Virginia and I want to see it thrive."
Page, a WVU Law School graduate, landed his first job in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. As an outsider plopped into a new city, he found a vibrant group of young professionals and a thriving adult intramural league. People with no previous connection could get together, share a beverage, get a little exercise and become lifelong friends.
"It's oftentimes difficult to get to know people and meet friends," Page said. "Kickball is great. It's something that you really don't have to be athletic to play. It's very social. It's co-ed. In Harrisburg the fields were outside of a bar; a couple old softball fields out back. People would carry their beers outside and play, and when the games were over they could go back to the bar and hang out.
"It was a great way to meet friends."
When Page moved here, he worked with Generation Charleston to get the league off the ground. The first year the league had 150 players and an end-of-the-year tournament.
"It was an absolute hit," Page said.
The league continues to grow and Page is intent on keeping the focus on the social and not the competition. There is a registration fee of $30, which covers insurance for the league, equipment and officials. Sponsors like Proud Eagle and Red Carpet cover the cost of T-shirts. C&H Taxi sponsors use of Laidley Field, which will sell adult beverages when league play begins June 29.
Page said at times the league has included more competitive teams, but his mission is to make it more about the fun. He just wants young people to feel welcome.
"It's pretty big in major cities," he said. "They have for-profit leagues, there are national tournaments and you can recruit. I didn't want to go that direction."
The season runs five weeks and there will be three games - at 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. - on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The tournament is scheduled for Aug. 6 at 9 a.m.
The rules are simple, too. Seven innings. Three outs. It follows an adult softball setup closely.
There must be at least four females on the field at all times, and no more than two males can bat consecutively. If you're on the team and you show up, you're in the batting order. Ten players dot the playing field with a pitcher, catcher, four in the infield and four in the outfield.
"You can peg people out as long as it's not in the head," Page said.
Registration opens May 2 - go to the website: chaskickball.com - and Page hopes the interest in the league will continue to swell.
"You hear a lot of complaints from people who move here from other cities that there is nothing to do here," Page said, "but that's not the case. You can do something that makes friends and you can stay active."
And you have the challenge of creating an original, hilarious, pun-filled team name.
The bar has been set high.
