Random Team Generator

The Random Team Generator splits any list of names into teams in seconds. Paste your names, choose how many teams you need, and it distributes students or players fairly and randomly every time. Great for PE lessons, classroom projects, sports coaching, trivia nights, and work workshops.

This tool is part of Spinnit's Classroom Random Tools cluster for teachers.

4. Click Pick Teams to generate the groups instantly.
5. Click again to re-shuffle and produce completely new teams.

Best Used For

• PE class or sports day team selection at school

Why Use Spinnit

The tool uses a standard Fisher-Yates shuffle before distributing names across teams, so no player is deliberately favoured or paired. Teams can be re-shuffled instantly if anyone disputes the draw. No data is stored, no account needed, and it works just as well on a phone as on a laptop.
