i am planning on starting a team but i am not sure that i can get a lot of ppl that are dedicated...i am not the best but could be really good with practice..i have been playing for 4 years, i am small so i can fit behind bunkers easily....someone help!

finda group of peopel in your area who you play with quite a bit and go for it. there's not much else to it really.

i cant seem to find many people....i dont want to just ask random players unless i absolutely need to...would there be a possibility that i might get recruited if i play at the field every weekend and am showing improvement and that i am actually good?

If your friendly and play walk-ons it should be easy to find people to join a team. Do you have any friends that play?

enchampion · May 6th, 03:56 PM

i have a lot of friends that play but some of them dont have enough money. i keep telling them to just earn enough money to play a few weekends and atleast one tournament so that we can gain atleast one sponsorship.

then you'll just have to wait it out. maybe if your'e lucky you'll get somebody to ask you. Or try asking people if they know of any tourneyments locally and see if they're in need of players.

edit: sponsorships are not the reason you should be playing. you should be playing for the fun of it. Most sponsorships you get will be good for gear only at discounted priced and only if you buy a semi-expsnve starting pack for promotional reasons. they will not pay field entry or for your paint.

Find a good "local" field, and stomp at it. Sooner or later someone will ask you to join up with them. Just make sure you are ready for the commitment and hold to your word. Teams talk.

If money is the issue for you and friends wanting to start a team than talk to your local field about trading some good old hard work for free entry or discounted paint. Anything to lower your cost is the way to go.

i have been in contact with the owner of the local paintball field. he tells me that he can get a team set up pretty easily..he somewhat knows me and wants to see me play a little bit more. i plan on taking a few trips over the next few weeks to show them what i got...how do i approach him? what should i say/do that would make him want me on one of his teams? should i ask questions? please respond

If the owner going out to play make sure you get into that game. Don't be cocky but show him that you can get the job done. Try seeing if the owner would hire you as a part time ref.

If you work for free, I'm sure that they will let you play for a little while on their field!!

thats a good idea...and another question....when i am viewing these young guns and all of these other teams on youtube...i see that most teams do not have matching gear...is it not important to when u have a team,,,i would think that every team would have matching shirts atleast

enchampion · May 7th, 07:35 PM

right?

***martix_agent*** · May 7th, 09:02 PM

eh not really. not unless you have somebody telling you that you need to match.

enchampion · May 8th, 08:54 PM

Ohh That Seems Pointless Tho

***martix_agent*** · May 8th, 09:05 PM

not when they're giving you discounts on nice things and paying fees. when that happens you do as they say.

**kenny_1491** · May 8th, 09:16 PM

If you are entering the tourny seen it is best to at least have matching Jerseys.
