How about allowing the user to define their custom URL. This is a pretty common occurrence across social apps. Often the setting for the custom URL is found on the user's profile page. In your case, it would likely be on the team management page. The standard I see is:
1) Show their unique URL as text 2) Describe that they can change the URL if they want 3) User types in their desired URL prefix/suffix 4) Check to see if it's already taken 5) Optional: make suggestions (perhaps something like redsox-[town name]-[age group]) I also wonder if users will understand sub-domains. In my experience, I find that people often don't get that stuff can go before the domain (they always want to type www first). People do see to get, however, that stuff comes after the .com, so maybe you'll want to look at /redsox-[town name] as an option? Just a thought... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
