The Xtreme Paintball Sports League (XPSL) today announced a partnership with Redz International, making the paintball product manufacturer a Gold Sponsor for the 2006 XPSL Series. Redz International is the leader in supplying high-quality paintball products ergonomically designed specifically for the sport.

“The XPSL is pleased to have the support of Redz International for the 2006 season,” said Shawn Walker, President of the XPSL. “I hope this is the beginning of a long term relationship where the XPSL and Redz International can work together to attract and train the next generation of tournament paintball players.”

The sponsorship deal began earlier this month at the XPSL’s first event of the 2006 season at SC Village Paintball Park in Corona, Calif. Products from Redz International contributed to the more than $50,000 prize package awarded to the event’s top teams.

“As a twelve-year veteran of tournament paintball, I understand that the role of the product manufacturers must connect at all levels of the sport,” said Carmen Borgia, Vice President of Redz International. “Redz International is excited to part of the XPSL as it continues to offer one of the United States’ largest paintball circuits in size and longevity.”

The second leg of the five event XPSL season will take place June 2-4, 2006 at Santa Clara Paintball Park in San Jose , California. Additional events for the 2006 season will be held in Northern California, Las Vegas and back to Southern California for the season finale.
