If you want to promote the image of your team and improve your odds in getting higher places in tournaments, you will definitely have to find some sponsors, unless you are rich enough to fund the team yourself. These potential sponsors can provide you with the necessary paintball gear as well as money and in return they will want to advertise on your banners, jerseys as well as other team equipment that can offer them the appropriate exposure.

Such type of donations will ease your financial efforts while at the same time you and your fellow paintball players will have better equipment and you will all be able to focus on what is really important, the game itself. However, getting such type of sponsorship can be a little bit tricky, but with persistence and determination, you can have great results for you and your team. To help you in your search of finding sponsors, we have come up with a list of instructions that you should follow.

First, start by making the team portfolio. You will need to organize all the relevant information in a resume-type format and print it on high-quality paper and don't forget to include ...
... a professional-made photo of the paintball team you run. Needless to say that this should be a presentable document that is ready for mailing. It should feature the team's members, winning history and primary goals.

Second of all, you will need to come up with a list of potential sponsors by have a thorough research online as well as getting in touch with the local schools and other sports organizations that can actively support (financially) local sports teams. Such companies can be anything from regional departments of large business or even local grocery stores. You need to know that the large paintball companies can offer sponsorship through streamlined online forms. For this reason, you must fill out these forms carefully, including all the necessary and relevant information and submit all of them with any of the additional requested documents.

Needless to say that you should get in contact with as many potential sponsors as you can. Telephone or e-mail is the two best ways to go. You should introduce yourself as the team's spokesperson, and invite them to have a closer look at the portfolio. Remember to always follow-up and maintain contact with these potential sponsors.

With the companies that show interest, you will need to talk about your team's desires and tell these firms how their aid will help advance your team as well as the image of the sponsor. If everything is settled, you will need to draft a simple contract, stipulating both sides of the agreement. You must outline the desires of your team in terms of gear or funding, and what the sponsoring company wants in terms of presentation and image.

Once you have acquired sponsors it is highly recommended to include them in the aforementioned portfolio as it will let other companies see that other firms already trust you which will increase your chances of getting additional sponsorship.
