PSI (Paintball Sports Inc.) in Plattekill, NY is looking to sponsor some teams and have put me (Barney) in charge of looking for teams/players and sending them a list. This is what they’re offering. Their only request is you have to wear their patch on your uniform/Jersey. What you get is free admission to open play at the field anytime (scenario’s not included). You just have to pay for the paint. So if you show up with 20 guys wearing the patch every one wearing the patch plays for free (no field fees). Plus the usual 10% discount on markers, hoppers, equipment.So if any one is interested to get on the list and a chance to be picked they need to contact me (Barney) at finrod13@yahoo.com
