Sweet, what's involved and what do you guys got planned?

Myself and others at the UMCP team have tried to aid UMBC students in getting their organization up and running but they never seem to actually organize practices and eventually disappear.

Good luck. If you succeed in actually getting some players out to practice, we'd be more than happy to give some help.

Yea I'm Ercs roommate and it looks like if everything goes well the club should be approved and such at the latest by the end of this semester.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to raise some money so we can get some "Club" gear for people that want to play but flat out can't afford or are not convinced enough to drop the money to get equipment?

Yes, I have advice for that exact situation --- it's called don't buy **** for people who won't spend money on it in the first place.

ahahahahha.. alright.. how did you guys spend any funding that you got?

PupChow · 04-06-2008, 11:20 AM

I have at least 2 other UMBC alumnis that are into paintball with me now if you need people. If not, let us know if you need some moving targets to shoot at during practice.

Spend funding on entry fees, event paint, practice fees, practice paint.

Don't ever spend money on stuff like team guns, pod loaders, or other hard goods. They just get lost, stolen, or broken.

I'm At umbc but i'm graduating this may. Can alumni be in on the action?

Erc · 04-22-2008, 01:26 PM

RaySpec · 04-22-2008, 08:56 PM

i've always wondered, does that include graduate studies?

PupChow · 04-23-2008, 09:36 AM

If you think this will help, I am more than happy to create a temporary (or permanent) umbc team subforum on yespaintball.com if you guys need a staging area until your own site is up. Always up for helping out fellow Retrievers.
