Parkinson’s Patient Leads Team Tremor To Fight Parkinson’s Disease Through Paintball! Veteran Paintball Entrepreneur and Tournament Player to Coach the Team!

Team Tremor officially begins its run to the National Professional Paintball League’s and Millennium Series’ 2006 season!

Co-captained by husband and wife team Christopher and Karen Clark, and coached by long time tournament player, team owner, and paintball entrepreneur Rick Hartman, Tremor will compete in both the National Professional Paintball League and European Millennium Series at the Division II level. Their goal is to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s research, to bring paintball to underprivileged and disabled children, and to encourage all paintball players to create Positive Change Through Paintball in their communities.

Clark says “I believe that you must find a way to turn something negative into something positive. When I was diagnosed with this disease I felt like my life as an athlete was over. Paintball was what made me feel alive. I thought that if I can use my illness and my ability to play paintball to raise awareness and do something positive, than using the sport to fight for a cure was what we had to do.”

In the past year, Tremor has collected an impressive list of supporting sponsors including: Paintball Games International, Paintball Wholesalers, Hammerhead Paintball, Virtue Paintball, Force of Nature, Pbnation, Animal Paintball, and Abstrakt Clothing. The team continues to look for more sponsors to support their cause. “Sponsorships help us to keep the cost of running the team down and that allows us to give the most to back our cause.” says Clark.

Rick Hartman of Paintball Wholesalers a veteran tournament player, coach, and former owner of such championship teams as Evil Factory and Nasty X will both coach and play for the team.

Clark states “Rick has been a friend and a mentor in the sport for years. He has excelled at every facet of the game from the field to the office! There was really no question for us that he had to be involved!”

Tremor team management has assembled an experienced and talented group of Division II players as its core and is holding their first round of tryouts for Division I and II front and mid players October, 8th and 9th at Paintball Adventures Park in Taneytown, Maryland.
