Nothing could be further from the truth. Sometimes places like a Car dealership or a Local restaurant would be more than happy to sponser teams as soon as they know how big the Paintball community is, and More importantly how it will Benefit them.
As soon as they know what you can do for them, then you can begin to discuss what they can do for you.
But remember don't expect a lot of money at first expect little things.

Exactly, look at Nascar. You see hundreds of stickers from sponsers on the cars from like cat litter companies. WTF does paper cat litter have to due with nascar? Nothing, but they want the advertising.
Guys if you are just starting out the team, don't be thinking about big sponserships right now. Get your team together, play together for a long time, get good, know your teammates, your markers, who plays what position all of that, then start to join some LOCAL tournies. Play a few of those until you start placing good (like if there are 12 teams and you place 4th and its your first tournament thats pretty good. Place good in some tournaments and the start to make a protfolio, resume, make a dvd, pics, website maybe, and then start thinking of sponsers. I don't know if you should look for sponsers or let them come toyou, but start small.
That would be so cool to be sponsered by a car dealership, those rich a$$es lol. You like walk into a car dealership one day to ask them to sponser you and your like hello (shake hands and hand them your resume) we have a lot to offer each other blah balh would you like to sponser us blah blah blah, but befor you say anything we would like to buy a high end lexus... Of course well sponser you...
