This video I talk a little bit about starting a paintball team. Here is my advice-1) if you have never played on a team, go join someone else team first. You\'ll learn alot\n\n2) Once you have some tournament experience on someone elses team, then you can start your own\n\n3) First get organized. Team name, website, etc\n\n4) Buy a stack of jerseys that are cheap and on sale. Right now, companies are practically giving away 06 and 07 line jerseys. This is a great, cheap way to start a uniform and looking alike. This shows other people you are serious about your team\n\n5) Start traveling to different fields to recruit players. Have flyers handy with your team name, goals, fees, practice schedule, etc\n\n6) Once you have your core players, make the new players be on probation for 30 days. This will prevent team-hoppers jumping on your team just for tournaments.\n\n7) Show up the field ready to play. Try to finish your practices by noon. Bust your ass hardcore and play hard to getbetter.\n\n8) Always play teams better than you. You will learn nothing from beating on easy teams. In golf they have a rule \"When you suck, play fast\". Same in paintball. If a good team is willing to play you, don\'t fuck around. Get out there ASAP and earn their respect!\n\n9) Paint Pool- every shouldbring a case of inspected, quality paint to practice, and everyone should just grab paint from the paint pool. 11 players = 11 cases of paint. This way, no one has to worry about conserving paint. Everyone pools from the paint pool, and everyone rolls their guns!\n\n10) STAY AWAY FROM PBNATION when you first start out. PBNation is a negativity pit of manic depressive 12 year olds, who are just going to cause trouble for you and your team. Less Than Zero used to dismiss players from their team if they were caught on PBNation. Don\'t recruit on pbnation, don\'t advertise your team on pbnation, don\'t start a team thread on pbnation, just stay away from pbnation. PBNation will not help you ONE BIT. \n\nFocus your time and energy on visting local fields, playing against local teams, recruit local players, and bust your ass. You will get better, your team will get better, but it takes time, hard work, and patience.\n\nHope this helps! new, paintball, Starting, team...
