I am trying to start a tourny paintball team at university, I have thought about it and require the following kit:

5x markers
5x Hoppers
5x Air
5x Masks
10x Jersey's
10x Pants

Also, I would require some training options. re-balls and bunkers etc. Any input or advice would be great. I will be looking into sponsorship and things too but it has to be in place by September this year.

ive got some advice.... DONT DO IT, but seriously contact the union to try and get funding, you will need to get it registered as a sport insurance risk assesments etc, have people join to raise funds etc, the best person to contact on here is devrijj, he organised UWE's paintball society, or shadowopps 666 who organised my universities paintball club, i paid £20 ish, then we got given a pallet of paint by the uni, played the only uni tournament and won last year.....

sound advice, we have set up 2 teams in the last couple of months who have had good funding through the union/university.

to be fair L.i.p.s did sort us out with some great kit: pots, paint (which was the winning paint) and kit for one of the new guys, but the lack of organisation in a uni league meant it was pointless for us to continue, i had a blast at the one tournament that got organised, and i know someone is trying to do one this year, but in reality i cannot see it happening for the time being..... we couldnt argue that it was viable as theres no other leagues in this area..

Well I am just fishing for ideas at the moment, and I have consulted the uni. I want to be able to go to them and say "I have all this in the pipeline, I now just need you to let us do it!" I have been trying to organise a team for the university toury that is due in Feb, but struggled to get a team together. The event has already drummed up enough interest to secure a second date later in the year and hopefully more next year! the foundations are being laid for a better organised University based paintball league.
