Pro Help at USPL

A paintball league started by pro players for the intentions of helping the sport grow most certainly would have some perks. The US Paintball League gives divisional 7-man teams (D1,D2,D3) the chance to work with a pro at the Huntington Beach event. Your team gets to choose which pro player they want for the weekend. The pro player of choice will help your team walk the fields for 1 hour, coach, and and other help your team may need throughout the tournament during his off time.

The 16 pro teams and their rosters will be posted on the USPL site.
Only applicable to divisional 7-man teams
Once your divisional team has registered and paid in full, your team will get to choose which pro player they want.
Only 1 pro player per team and it is first come first serve

The Surf City Open (Huntington Beach) is April 3-5, 2009.
Registration for HB starts on February 16, 2009.
