The Squash Words Behind the Puns

Most good squash team names swap one squash word into a saying everyone knows. These are the words that do the work.

WordWhat it means
TinThe low strip along the bottom of the front wall. A ball that hits it is out, so the tin decides a lot of rallies.
TThe spot in the middle of the court where the short line meets the half court line. Players try to get back to it after every shot.
BoastA shot that hits a side wall first and then travels to the front wall.
NickThe joint between a wall and the floor. A ball that lands in the nick often rolls flat and cannot be returned.
LetA rally that is replayed, usually because one player got in the other’s way without meaning to.
StrokeA point awarded to a player who was blocked from making a fair shot.
RailA straight shot that runs tight along the side wall. Also called a drive.
Drop shotA soft shot that lands just above the tin and dies near the front wall.
LobA high, soft shot that goes over the opponent and lands deep in a back corner.
GhostingTraining without a ball: moving to each corner and back to the T as if playing a rally.
DotsThe colored dots on a squash ball show how fast and bouncy it is. Double yellow is the slowest and is used by experienced players, while beginners use bouncier balls.
HardballThe North American version of squash played with a harder, faster ball. Today it is mostly played as doubles.

How to Pick a Squash Team Name

  • Keep it short. Box league sheets, ladder boards and draws have room for two or three words.
  • Use a squash word like tin, nick, boast or the T. Other players spot the joke right away, and it sounds less generic than “The Champions”.
  • Match the name to the team. A beginner team can own a tin joke, a college lineup can go with something that sounds tough.
  • Say it out loud the way the club captain will read it at the end of season dinner.
  • If juniors play on the next court, save the cheeky names for the adult box league.

More About Squash

FAQ

What is a good squash team name?

A good squash team name is short and built on a squash word. Tin Men, Nick of Time, Masters of the T and Boast Busters work because every player at the club gets the joke without explanation.

What are funny squash team names?

Scared Serveless, Hit the Tin, Buy a Round, Eye of the Squasher and Ghosting Our Opponents are funny picks. If you want to lean on the vegetable, try Butternut Squashers or Gourd Vibes.

What are good squash team names for women?

Smash Sisters, Nick Chicks, Drop Shot Divas, Tin Tiaras and She Owns the T all work for ladies box leagues and women’s club teams.

What is a good name for a squash doubles team?

Tea for Two, Partners in Nick, Two on the T and Who Has the T? fit a doubles pair, since most doubles arguments are about who should have taken the ball.

How many players are on a squash team?

Squash is played one on one, so a team is a lineup of players who each play their own match. The number of positions depends on the league or school, so check before you pick a name built around it.

Can a squash team name be dirty?

Mild double meanings like Nice Nick, Lob Me Tender or Deep in the Corner come straight from squash terms and are common in adult leagues. Names end up on the box league sheet, so keep it to something you would say in front of the juniors.

What does the tin mean in squash?

The tin is the low strip along the bottom of the front wall. A ball that hits it is out, which is why Tin Collectors is a favorite name for a beginner team.
