A new field

If you did a re-ball field close to me i would probably be down there every day 😁 . On reballs website they have a video of cleanup and drills and stuff. They charge i think 30 and you get all day air and unlimited balls all day.

go here: www.reball.se for vids and stuff

Some suggestions to make a venture like this successful:
1. Take the idea into another state, less conservative.
2. Avoid the partnership concept, 50% failure rate.
3. Get a marketing experts advice and do a comprehensive marketing research. What you spend on doing that could save you thousands later.
4. Have lots and lots of available capital prior to opening the doors..
How do I know, I've been there!
I can go on and on....

If you want paintball to be a more profitable sport it needs to become more mainstream. People seem to have a phobia or predetermined view that the paintballing community is a bad thing because we “shoot” people. The public outside the paintballing world need to view our sport as what it is... a legitimate sport with sponsors, and rules, and marketing opportunity. Until the game becomes popular there will not be a big enough fan base to turn a profit. Marketing to first time players and interest groups would be the best way to go. Also, companies outside the industry of paintball need to see the sport as a great way to advertise. Conventional companies need to realize paintball is a viable market for their own goods.

Hope some of this makes sense to the rest of us without marketing degrees.

I have played at a reball facility in Denver. Cheating was rampant. it isnt a matter of if, but when. The idea is good. But you are forgetting allot of things.

First and foremost. Theft. You will have to have 2 refs on the field at all times. Checking hoppers, pods, pockets....etc. Second, they hit harder. It is fine for the tourney ballers. But we do not drive the industry. Rec-ballers do. The kids are not going to want to stay if they are getting hit with a rubber ball as opposed to a paintball. Third, they are not hopper friendly. You will jam, and break cones and springs.

I am not opposed to it. But it seems everyone wants to be apart of the outcome and not really the planning.
