Two thing I would do.  Make sure you have enough players at your company.  Decide if you want men's, women's, or coed.  Then next is I would contact the local city parks and recreation and see what it takes to get into the local leagues.

Take them to a college softball game...one its free, and the ladies are very approachable, and they can give advice and maybe some pointers on the fundamentals of softball.

Go to your local Parks and Recreation with the city of Fort Wayne, and there should be an organized softball league, both co-ed and mens and womens leagues. Look under City offices for Fort Wayne

If this is your first time coaching, sometimes the parks or recreation centers will give you names of people who play....Also, here, we can go to the park on ANY saturday and there are tons of people just playing ball for fun.

First, try to get the parents of team members to do this for you. Next, anythings your team needs to buy, see if the business will give it to you free or at deep discount. This is a kind of sponsorship. If you need more, look in a business directory, like the Yellow Pages. Start calling on or phoning businesses in the same area as the team. Stress the business advantages they will gain by being sponsors.

I have been playing softball for 9 years and my advice to you is... (1)get hitting lessons.  You can't learn how to play if you don't have face to face instruction by a recommended coach. (2)If you get a good enough trainer they can teach you fielding too which, like hitting, you need one on one training. (3)buy a book of ASA rules.  You need to be familiar with them before you play or you can cost your team a lot of money. (4)Finally, if your coach tells you to play a position that you don't normally play, go there anyway because normally a former player or a coaches favorite so you will not have much chance.Also do not make  a big deal about injuries or the coach will take you as not tough enough and you will either not make it or make a lower level team then you deserve.  If you are seeking more help read softball for dummies.  The title throws you off but it really is a good book to read and I think it can really help you.  Good Luck!!

Go to the local Chamber of Commerce and see if any business would like to sponsor your team. Tell them you'll name your name the business name. For them it's advertizing, for you, it's free.

There is no magical steps to take or secret form to fill out.  You can do it however you want.  You could buy equipment for everyone and then invite people.\n\nProbably it would be easier to find 4 other people who have equipment and already play paintball.  Once they agree to be on the team, then come up with a team name.  \n\nThere it is!!\n\nNow, if you want to enter tournaments (or really play at all), you will need money to buy paint and pay entrance fees.  If you really want to get high-tech, you can pay someone to design a logo and print jerseys.\n\nThe cool part is if you start winning, you have prizes.  These prizes could involve new guns or paint.  Free paint is good for practicing, because then you are more likely to win next time.  And then since you practiced so much, you will probably win the next tournament also.  Kind of an interesting cycle to get into.
