Many of you have been asking about how to form or get on a team.  You have also been asking about how to get sponsors.  Here a couple of tips to get you started on your ventures.

Q: How do you get on a team?


A: The first thing I would recommend is to ask players on existing teams if they are looking for players.  If they are a pro or amateur team, you might want to ask them how you can get started with your own team.  Ask people at local stores where you play.  If you can't find a team to join, get some of your close friends that you play with and form your own team.  You can build from there once you have established as base team.  You can start recruiting other players that you would like to play with your team.  Just remember, the ultimate key to forming a team is organization.  Without it, don't expect your team to last for long.

Q: How do you get sponsors?


A: After you have established your team, and are ready for the tourney, you can start looking for sponsors.  The easiest way to start out is to start asking at local Paintball stores.  They are usually looking for local teams to help them promote their stores.  You can also ask local field owners.  They are usually willing to help out in exchange for you helping out on their fields every once in a while.


Not too many other questions this past month.  Whew!  We will see about February.
