Alright, Ive been working with a teacher to get a paintball team/club going for my school. The teacher knows the Principal and says he likes everything organized and for info to be on paper. I have a page with the Proposal Overview which says what we are asking, and explains paintball. I also have a page of safety statistics. Does anyone know of anything else I could write out?

You probably already know this but always refer to it as a marker. Because it seems more apealing to closed minds.

Paintball is a little too expsensive to be a school club IMO. A school club is something that would RARELY cost you say 10 bucks. While a paintball club would cost you a minimum of 20 everytime you played... Just doesn't seem like club materail to me. But go for it if its what you want.

Well what if you got a sponsor? They could give you a couple cases of paint now in then, or pay some feild fee's, and in return, get some sort of banner and hang it up on a wall at school, so about 800 kids see it every day. I think a company would go for that.

Ive used only marker and not paintball gun. We are going to charge a 10 dollar entry fee. From that $10 you get all the discounts the local fields are giving us. That $10 will go toward expanding the club.

Thats different then a school renting out a wall to show to impretionable youth. Though that may seem a little protective, I think schools should be that protected when it comes to corprate america.

My local McDonalds said they wouldnt sponsor our team because they only do school teams, we told them whats up and they said if it goes through they will give us some money for tourneys and maybe a lunch for tourneys.

my moms friends son was allowed to go paintballing for school, they used it as a way to re-enact wars and such for history, now i find that very cool. i'd try to start a paintball club but my principals a nazi so i doubt it would happen

impressionable. YAY I found one.

I seriously doubt my school would go for that, although every school is different.

What was i thinking when I spelled that lol. If i started one, i'd have pure tippys and spyders. Then a few football newbs with cockers, and a small group of average speedballers. What a group...

I told my english teacher I paintball, and she gave me a glare and said that 5 years ago her mother was jogging, and somone in a suv pulled up by her and shot her in the face with a paintball gun. The I asked if she thought it was me and sent me out of the room.


You could get a banner made that has your club name on it so it would be advertizing for the club. and you could have the copanys logo on the side or something. I don't think it's wrong to advertize in schools if it's highschool. by then they can form an opinion of there own. Even though I agree with what you are saying 133+, But it's not like they are taking up the front of the school with some stupid 10-10-987 sign.
