Step One
Organize 5 to 15 paintballers you know and trust. Everyone should have his or her own equipment. Choose people you like and trust over people who are good paintballers. In the end, it's about companionship and fun.

Step Two
Play together and talk about organizing a team. Do you all have similar motivations and expectations? Design a logo and make patches for your team to keep everyone united. Make a banner and bring it to the tournament.

Step Three
Decide on a captain and a name for your team. The captain should be the most organized player, and a good leader, not necessarily the best player.

Step Four
Seek sponsorship. Talk about what you would like from your sponsors (supplies, money, discounts, etc.) and explain to them what you will be doing in return (patronage, advertising, and image). Be realistic and don't expect too much. Your team can benefit by buying supplies, such as paintballs and compressed air, in bulk.

Step Five
Find a home field. (See "Finding Local Field.") It should be somewhere local where you all like to play. Talk with the owner and see how he feels about your team calling his field "home." Offer to help referee and clean up in exchange for discounts or use of a practice field.

Step Six
Play together as a team as much as possible, focusing on tactics and strategy. Talk before and after each game about what went right and wrong.

Step Seven
Enter a tournament and represent your sponsors well by displaying good sportsmanship whether you win or lose.
