On one of my servers, we solve this problem by having, say, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] actually be called "host1" and "host2" in Mailman, but we have
mail aliases that make [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] work, and the 
appropriate
setting to let Mailman know that [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] are 
appropriate
posting addresses for lists host1 and host2 respectively.

In our case, it's only the actual posting addresses where we want the same
name, but it wouldn't be too hard to extend this to hide more than just the
one address.

You could probably do something similar by naming your mailing lists
team1_volleyball and team1_soccer and then setting up the appropriate
mailing aliases so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] work as expected (similarly for
[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.)  If you don't like having the
longer urls that'll result, you could also make
http://volleybalclub.dse.nl/mailman/listinfo/team1 equivalent to
http://volleybalclub.dse.nl/mailman/listinfo/team1_volleyball using
mod_rewrite in Apache, or something similar for the webserver of your
choice. 

It's a bit of a hack, though, since, of course, the list itself will still
advertise addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED], but
it probably beats multiple installations of Mailman and it's fairly seamless
to your users unless you forget to make some aliases.
