Does anyone know of anyone who would want to sponsor a paintball team? The paintball facility they use is having an International tournament and this would be outstanding exposure (marketing) for any company wishing to sponsor the team.

Ask some of your local businesses, that what most people do. Here a girl's softball team approached mine and another man's business and we contributed for Uniforms and some equipment. I even went to most of their Games and brought them Snacks and Drinks. It was fun and there many out there that will do this, IF, the team will go around and Ask and Inform the potential Sponsor(s)\nDo not underestimate the small businesses too, Heck, Bob's Bar and Grill may surprise you, or, Julie's Bouncing Animal Pet Shop. ;-)

You need to source companies that could or will benefit from sponsoring. You didn't say if it is for the event or a personnal sponsorship you are after. If it is for the event then that is a lot harder to get as major companies buget their sponsorship monies a year in advance. For a personnal deal I would look for small companies and try to get several of them to sponsor. You can even make a sponsor program that gives the sponsor different ways of sponsoring you.

the stores name is HQ.  i think they flier was for hollywood sports.  www.hollywoodsports.com.  that place isnt too great.  it's expensive and they make you buy field paint.  you should check out jungle island or sc village.

Althought I enjoy this joke and I tell it, I don't think that this is the place for it.  Some people may be offended.  There is a time and place, but not here.\n\nAnd yes, they will field a team.

if you get Coca Cola to sponsor it, you can give free refreshments. I think that's about it.\nif I were you, I would look at having three or four sponsors for various things.

have you ever considered airsoft?\n\nthe weapons, tactics, gear and clothing are more authentic than the neon gear and guns with tumors used in paintball...\n\njust a thought..

I'm still trying to deccipher how ESPN (and yes, I know the E stands for Entertainment, but come on...) can show poker series.  Are they considered athletes somehow?\n\nBut seriously, my gut reaction would be Bode Miller for pulling one of the world's all-time greatest chokes and then poking fun at his married teammate because he didn't party it up in Torino like Miller did.  Good call, Bode.  I want to make the Olypics just so I can drink at bars in a city other than Truckee, CA.

What you are looking for is LICENSING, not sponsorships.  Check the websites of the organization's who's name/logo you want to use, and check out the licensing section - it will tell you who to contact and/or what the terms are for licensing their products/logos.

It would be nice if a group of former players like Terry Porter and Clyde Drexler would do it.  I know Porter has been in the news as an option.  It would be nice if Phil Knight of Nike would put his support behind a pro team instead of exclusivly supporting the University of Oregon, it's not like he couldn't afford to do both.

There isn't that large of a fan base for the pros.  We used to go to the games and virtually no one was there in the stands.  I think that they should have left softball in the olympics.  Softball has always been a hot topic of the olympics.  Since I have graduated from college, I had to hang up my glove.  Damn, it hurt so bad.  Now all I have to look forward to is the NCAA championships to watch each May.  I tried coaching varsity high school softball, but the girls didn't have the heart that I had for the sport and it was just too frustrating.  The problem is that people like watching men play sports more so than women.  What's sad is that I have to listen to my boyfriend say that MLB is much harder than Fastpitch softball.  It really pisses me off.  I think that ESPN has noticed that they get great ratings during NCAA championships, so now they might play the National games.  I have a couple of friends that played pro in Akron, but they didn't get paid good and the fan base was not great.

The Pumas are one of the form rugby teams at the moment.  I think on present form they would just about smoke any international team bar the All Blacks.  I would love to see every player in the Argentinian team playing professionally and the infrastructure to support them.  Go the Pumas!

You're going to have to look around - see if you can talk to any local businesses about sponsoring your team.  Perhaps a local dojo might be interested, or a sports store.  Check also any community organizations for youth/young adults in your neighborhood - they won't sponsor you but they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Think about who would WANT to sponsor you.  SOunds like your best bet at this point is to talk to the websites on which you won the tournaments.  Ask if they would be interested.  Those place always need promotion.

I can't really say I've bought anything because the vendor is a F1 sponsor. I don't smoke and I buy gasoline from independant retailers-who possibly gets filled by the same truck. I have a set of Bridgestsone Blizzaks, but obviously they have nothing to do with F1. That being said, someone must buy the stuff they flog on F1 or else they wouldn't spend the money.

I would think that the team goes and plays the games it was scheduled to play and if they won the World Cup, it probably could create the amazing feat of reuniting the two sides into one country, maybe even go back to the old Yugoslavia days. We are all humans, there are no "country lines" anywhere I looked so we are all in the same team. Hope one day we can leave our pitty differences and join as one race.

Actually the first two are dumb answers and the 3rd was right. Its actually http://www.wallbangers.com if you saw the ad on FSC, but it takes you to the .co.uk website anyway. As for selection is very very limited and only a few teams. Players available are again mainly from the English Premiership. I'd like to see something along the lines and selection of Fatheads, hopefully they'll get there soon.

Yes it will be a good olympic sport in the future. But it will take time to get there if you notice snowboarding in now a olympic sport. It will take time though and the more paintball is brought out of the woods the better chance it will have. \nI think you will see a format like X-ball in the olympics before anything else.
