You can either set it directly from your instance:

ex.sportsListWidget.listLabel.setText('Teams')
ex.memebersListWidget.listLabel.setText('Members')

Or your NameListWidget's constructor method can include a string parameter that will set the label on its creation. (This should be the better approach)

class NameListWidget(QtGui.QWidget):

    def __init__(self, title):
        super(NameListWidget, self).__init__()

        self.initUI()
        self.listLabel.setText(title)

Then when you're adding them in FactionWidget:

# widgets
self.sportsListWidget = NameListWidget('Teams')
self.memebersListWidget = NameListWidget('Members')

Is this what you're after?
