Sure, your childhood baseball team was cool. But was it Sandlot cool? The guys over at Complex teed up the best fictional sports teams from movies that you totally wish you could have played for as a kid, and now it's your turn to vote!
In your younger years, you spent hours watching and re-watching the best sports movies ever made, especially the ones that featured all-star child athletes like you. If you modeled your after school street hockey team after the Mighty Ducks (and worked for hours perfecting your knucklepuck), or spent intense afternoons strategizing ways to beat the Monstars in a pick up basketball game, this list is for you.
Would you rather have a teammate like Michael Jordan or a coach like Denzel Washington? Since your dreams of combining all of these teams into one epic movie masterpiece have yet to be fulfilled (get on that, Hollywood!), it’s time to pick your favorite fictional sports teams.
Vote up the teams you would have given your entire allowance to join, and vote down the ones that suck harder than your biggest schoolyard rival. On this list of the greatest teams from sports movies for kids, there can only be one winning team. It’s up to you to decide.
