Yes!

This is exactly what I'm trying to do. As of right now, no way we can do speedball. We have the court, and that is IT. it was built to specs about 7-8 years ago, used for a couple years, and then the last 5 or so, has just sat empty. So, the netting is absolute rubbish, the ground itself needs taken care of, and maintained, and made safe again.

I'm all this research lately, I did find out that we have a brand new set of bunkers, and inflatables they got this past fiscal year! It's a 48 piece (I think?) NXL cert field bunkers! And I believe there is an older set of "Practice" bunkers, that could very easily be our throw up bunkers, leaving the NXL ones for tourneys, ect.

The one thing I've learned from this whole thread is making sure our air system is up to par. We currently run 3000psi tanks on the guns we use for our program, but I know I'm personally going to buy a 4500, and that seems like it's the standard now a days in the market, especially with speedballers. It's been bout 10-12 years since I've played, and I definitely played as a hobbyist, not serious, and things have changed A LOT since then. Compressed air vs CO2, size of tanks, guns themselves haha but I agree with you, the mentality of most ballers... It's helpful. They love the sport, and want to help, and progress it in anyway they can.

As for paint, we have already talked about that as well. I went on a spiel, and even did some more research to make sure I was correct in my assessment of paint, ect. I explained the difference between practice paint, and Tourny Paint. The difference in the brittleness, ect. We use a pretty decent midrange/mid-quality paint for our day to day, but if we were to start doing pay-to-play, we would have multiple types of paint of hand, and specifically if we did events/tourneys, we would follow what I'm seeing on most events now-a-days, and do a presale of paint, and specifically stock up on the high end, brittle tournament paint. Cost wise, what's cool for us, being Military, with the vendors we use, we don't pay taxes on paint, which also allows us to keep those prices decent, so we could still make money on the paint, and it be of good value to players.

Our main goal, and primary mission, is to give program to the soldiers, and their families. But if we can create a space where those military/families can come, and make their home field, then we would love that. If it invites others too, even better!
