Search for Players

You can then all start training together and see how well you work as a team and whether there are any potential star players to join the squad.
If there’s a lot of interest, you may want to host a tryout event so you can select the best players to join your squad.
Pick a Name
Picking a team name is your next job. You may want to go for a funny team name. But be aware that this can make it tough to be taken seriously in the future. Alternatively, you could open it up for the rest of the team to help pick your name, and hold a brainstorming session.
Organize Your Kit
