"The NCPA is the best thing to hit paintball since compressed air. Most know the NCPA is a national tournament league with the lowest prices and the highest standards of sportsmanship in paintball history. What they may not realize is that the NCPA is also thousands of college and high school students across the country working to bring paintball into their schools and communities. The NCPA does not have paintball players; it creates paintball ambassadors." - Chris Raehl, NCPA Founder and President |
The NCPA drives the growth and acceptance of paintball like no other tournament league. Because your sponsorship of the NCPA College Paintball National Championships and/or the NCPA High School Paintball National Championships also supports the NCPAs other activities year-round, your sponsorship dollars not only promote your company to paintball players, but also help the NCPA bring more new customers into the paintball industry.
In addition to organizing the national college and high school paintball leagues, the NCPA and its member clubs also:
- Establish and support new paintball clubs at colleges and high schools across the country
- Host organized club and team paintball activities to provide students an easy way to try paintball
- Provide training and coaching for players new to tournament paintball
- Ensure new players maintain the highest standards in sportsmanship
- Provide paintball outreach, safety, education and service programs
- Host community and charity paintball events
- Establish paintball classes and fields at colleges and universities
- Generate positive paintball press in local print, radio and television media
- Respond to paintball-related public, media and legislative inquiry
With 120+ college clubs and 3500 college players alone, the NCPA is the largest non-profit organization in paintball and paintball's second largest membership organization with a presence in 43 states. The NCPAs member clubs include universities like Purdue, Drexel, Georgia, Texas, Nebraska, USC, Florida State, USMA, Penn State, Illinois, Michigan State, Louisiana State, Rutgers, Illinois State, Oregon State, Oklahoma State, Minnesota State, George Washington, and the Culinary Institute of America, among many others.
The NCPA also has more events per year than any other national league, with six conference events already completed in the first half of the season this fall and seven more scheduled for the spring for a total of 11 states - and that's just college.
The NCPA believes in three things: Sportsmanship, Sportsmanship, and Sportsmanship
The NCPA provides paintball with tournaments you would be proud to bring your children or grandparents to. For example, at the 2002 DraXxuS X Ball(tm) Collegiate World Cup, 169 games of 5-man were played between the 12 teams in attendance during which only FOUR penalties were called. Three days. Four penalties.
|
"The college teams exhibited a much higher level of sportsmanship. During the first three matches, no penalties were issued at all, because they simply weren't needed. Players were pointing out to refs when they needed paintchecks, and calling themselves out when hit." - Bill Mills, Warpig.com |
|
"Despite the fact that there wase something truly on the line here the teams played with honesty and integrity - something tht is almost unheard of today." - Paintball News |
|
"Players/fans/spectators routinely waved banners and flags for their schools, sang fight songs, and in general, displayed sportsmanship not often seen at a paintball tournament." - Paintball 2 Xtremes |
Bridge the Recreational-Tournament Divide
Does sponsoring tournaments help your recreational business? Sponsoring NCPA tournaments does. NCPA tournament players are also NCPA club officers, so NCPA players have the unique ability to directly influence the club recreational player's purchasing habits.

Reach players BEFORE they buy equipment
Because one of the NCPA's central missions is encouraging players to try tournament paintball, the NCPA has a greater proportion of first-time tournament players than any other national league. That gives NCPA sponsors the ability to reach players before they have made their major purchasing decisions.
Reach Big Spenders
Whether it's spending the latest grant from the university or ordering paint for the next fraternity vs. fraternity paintball tournament, each NCPA team makes big purchasing decisions when they go back home.
NCPA is Media Madness
The NCPA is covered in every major paintball publication, from a regular monthly column in PGI to team profiles in Crossfire to 14-page coverage of the NCPA's 2002 Draxxus Collegiate World Cup in Orlando in Paintball News, the NCPA makes headlines.
The NCPA also makes frequent appearances in local media across the country as a result of student, college and local newspapers, radio and television covering their local team's attendance at NCPA events.
To see some of the places the NCPA has appeared in the media, check out the NCPA Media Page.
NCPA Scholarship Program
To encourage students to promote paintball's image in their communities, the NCPA offers a scholarship for students awarded based primarily on promoting paintball's positive image in the community. A portion of your contribution funds this scholarship, and as such NCPA sponsors also become sponsors of the NCPA Scholarship Program. More information on the NCPA Scholarship Program can be found here.
Championships Attendance
The 2002 combined NCPA College and High School National Championships drew 34 college and 16 high school teams. With the continued expansion of the college league over the past year and the addition of the new national high school league, we expect both events, now run separately, to attract 50 to 70 5-man teams from across the country as well as coverage in every paintball publication.
Title Sponsorship - $15,000
We recognize that many individuals and small business owners would like to support the NCPAs contributions to paintball, and the team sponsorship level is designed with them in mind. Each team sponsor's generosity will be recognized on the National Championships web page.
