To be honest, I have been working as a mass sports service in the community for 3 years, and I have handled no less than 20 senior fitness teams. It is not uncommon for uncles and aunts to hold several meetings in small squares to come up with names. Some think it has a meaning to win the prize, some think it is easy to remember, and some Chao Aunt and Chao Uncle want to compare with the coolness of young people's team names. Everyone's needs are far different, and there is no unified standard answer.

What’s interesting is that there are really two completely different naming ideas in the circle now, and no one can convince anyone. A group of people think that the senior fitness team is just a place where neighbors gather to play together. The more down-to-earth the name, the better, and don’t be too pretentious. Just like the square dance team at the north gate of our community, Aunt Zhang, who was the first to lead the team, was a literary and artistic backbone. At first, she wanted to call it the "Feng Wu Jiutian Dance Team." However, three days after the announcement was posted, not many people came to ask. Many old people said that the name sounded like they didn't know what it was for. Later, it was changed to the "Beimen Small Square Pretty Sunset Team". Within two weeks, more than 20 people were recruited. Now even the aunts from the surrounding communities have made a special detour to follow the dance.

Another group of people do not agree with this statement, saying that the lives of the elderly nowadays are no longer the same as before where they can only revolve around their children and grandchildren. Why do the team names have to include "Sunset" and "Songhe"? I just joined a cycling team with an average age of 62 last week. Every year, uncles and aunts form a team to ride around and go on self-driving tours. The team name is simply "Zhuifeng Senior Group". Every time they go out for a ride, they hang a bright yellow team flag, and young people on the road follow them and take videos. The aunts are very happy. They say that every time they hear others complimenting them for being fashionable, they feel that they are a little stronger on the bike.

In fact, there is really no need to classify it, the styles adapted to different projects are inherently different. For example, traditional projects such as Tai Chi and Health Qigong have a name with a sense of national auspiciousness. There was a Tai Chi team that participated in a provincial fitness competition for middle-aged and elderly people. The team was named "Nanshan Tai Chi Team". When the judges and teachers saw the name, they praised it for their matching temperament, and finally won the second prize. If you want to dance fast-paced events like shuffle dance and happy aerobics, you can definitely get lively and lively. At last year's fitness show in the city, there was a shuffle dance team called the "Wind and Waves Grandma Group" with an average age of 65. The applause didn't stop as soon as they came on stage. They were more popular than many young teams.

There are also a few pitfalls that you should pay attention to when naming, but don’t step on them. I have seen a team that initially thought of "Zi Qi Dong Lai Longevity and Longevity Fitness Team". When making the team flag, the printers were worried. The characters were too small to be seen from a distance, and the characters were too big to fit on the flag. In the end, they had to simplify it to "Zi Qi Dong Lai Fitness Team", but it was easy to remember and retained the original meaning. And don’t follow the trend and give the street names that are too bad. Last year, there were three "Sunset Red Fitness Teams" at the fitness show in the district. The staff called for sign-in three times but no one answered. In the end, they had to temporarily add the suffixes "Sunset Red Team 1" and "Second Team", which caused a lot of trouble.

I still remember that last year there was a soft-lily team with an average age of 68. The team members were all retired primary school teachers. At first, they wanted to call it the "Gardeners' soft-li team". During the discussion, someone mentioned, "We come to the park early every day and arrive just as the sun rises. Why not call it the 'Zhaoxia Team'?" ”It was unanimously approved on the spot, and now their team uniforms all have a small sun embroidered on the chest. Every time after training, a group of people gather together to take a group photo, and they feel energetic just looking at it.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the team name is just a symbol. Don’t get too hung up on it. If you sit down with the whole team and chat for half an hour, maybe a suitable name will come up. The one that everyone likes is the best name.
