Frequently asked questions
Is this team generator free?
Yes, 100% free with no signup required. Just paste names and generate.
How do I create balanced teams by ability?
Add a comma and a number from 1-5 after each name (e.g. Alex, 4). The generator uses a snake-draft algorithm to distribute skill evenly across teams.
Can I save my teams?
You can copy, print, or share teams right from the browser. To save class rosters, track attendance, and run tournaments, create a free InstaGroups account.
How many names can I paste?
No hard limit — the generator handles classes of any size. Most PE teachers generate teams for 20-40 students at a time.
What's the difference between balanced and random?
Balanced uses ability levels to distribute skilled players across teams via a snake draft. Random ignores ability and shuffles everyone. Grouped puts similar ability levels together.
