Reball Or Paintball

[Mario]

So how does a Reball site owner make a profit to stay in business?

you dont. if your lucky you break even.

I should think so. A Reball training center sounds great for teams, but as for the owner...

The no mess factor is a big selling point, to be sure. I've played indoor fields that were downright dangerous. Everything was covered in a stinking, slippery slime. However, the field made money, and that is a prerequisite to staying in business. It seems to me that Re-Ball removes much of the profit potential of an indoor field.

Any Re-Ball training centre owners care to comment?

how do they re-collect all the re-balls? a big vacuum cleaner or something??

blowers, snow shovels, gutters along the edges of fields etc

Push em into a basket, wash em off, let em dry.....sorted, rock on...

We're lucky to have one over here in NZ ... but only just.

The owner has an indoor go-kart place, and put a small field in for local teams to practise at ... means we can head down once or twice a week to shoot at much lower cost (and means that the actual paint training we do can be more focussed on actual games and stuff).

Without the go-karts it wouldn't fly at all - the overheads would kill it (especially in such a small market as NZ).
