Paintball
Info: The National Collegiate Paintball Association season runs from September to April and culminates in the NCPA National Championships in Tampa, Florida. While the team is open to anyone who is interested in playing paintball with a sense of competition and seriousness, there are try-outs for the starting lines of teams of five that travel to and compete in NCPA series events. Try-outs will be held on or about the first weekend in October at Skyline Paintball. Those interested are strongly encouraged and invited to practice with the team prior to try-outs. Those wishing to become members of the Paintball team are required to attend a mandatory once a weekend practice and a mandatory conditioning practice in the evenings during the week. Conditioning practices will begin after the October try-outs. Each semester, each player will be required to pay dues in the amount of $50. Dues are used to offset the cost of event entry fees. Additionally, each practice will cost each player approximately $25 to cover paint and air. Further, team jerseys are custom made and cost about $55. Finally, if you are picked for a traveling line you will have to pay for your own food and split cost of fuel and lodging. Generally the team and those interested in joining the team will meet at Mr. Chips on Saturday mornings at 9am and car pool to Skyline Paintball in Strasburg. The practice will last until 3 or 4pm.
