Our goal is to reach 40 players attending a fortnightly game for three consecutive fortnights or have a single day with 50 people.
Games will be held fornightly on a Saturday.
Competitive games will be based on a ladder competition and players will hand in-game cards for table scoring. An end of term trophy will be given to each winning team.
20 Sponsorships for school-age players.
Up to 5 sponsorships for Pro players.
Stage 2: Growth
Our goal is to reach in excess of 35 players for 4 consecutive Saturdays
Games held every Saturday
Achieve this before April 15.
Stage 3: Competition
Alongside regular training and casual games a 6 week tournament roster will be created and run on Sundays. Teams will compete against one team every Sunday.
Competition games will have a 15 minute game time, first to 5 competition.
4 teams restored to play at a time, up to 8 times in a day = 32 teams in competition, could go to games every half our.

These players are defined by having their own kit. There will be a kitty of paintballs available to for use. These players will be required to sign off that they know our safety rules and will be a tool to actively enforce these rules.
Spnsorship email
We are assembling a competitive regular paintball group, we have notice many of your students play paintball with us and it would be a great start to offer your students a sponsorship in the series.
About the Series
We are a winter sport and compete from the 14th of May to the 1st of October. However, practice games will start on February the 19th. The season consists of 15 game days and the pre-season consists of 6 game days for 21 game days in total.
Our divisions are split into mechanical and open. Mechanical paintball is a fantastic place to start, it’s cheap to get the equipment and the play is slower. In mechanical competition, new players can really learn how to move. Our mechanical division enables young players to play with old players and experienced to play with inexperienced Because paintball is a contactless sport.
Players do not need commit to buying any gear or coming to any number of games. We have significantly subsidised the costs to play which are now:
Entry Fee (booked online) :$29, Includes equipment and 150 paintballs*
Entry Fee (walk on): $35, Includes equipment and 150 paintballs*
Or,
Term fees $100 (optional, replaces entry fee), does not include equipment or paintballs*
*Players may bring their own equipment and paintballs, or purchase additional equipment and paintballs from us.
Paintballs: Players may bring their own paintballs or purchase them onsite at $8 for a pod of 150, $20 for a bag of 500, $20 for 3 pods of 150, or $70 for 2000. It’s recommended that players account for using 300-500 paintballs a game day. Conservative players may get away with only 150 paintballs. It’s recommended that players pay for paintballs as an entire team and split the costs accordingly.
Games and training are held fortnightly, Players will play in several ladder competitions in term 1 and our 5v5 competition start term 3.
Ages: This is open to everyone aged 13+
We would love it if you can please add this to your sports programmes.
