About Black Lotus

 

Black Lotus is a young competition paintball team devoted to introducing youth to the sport of paintball. With our staff of current and former local and national tournament players and our partnerships with Sponsors:  Outdoor Xtreme, Nuclear Paintball.  Dyzana and more. And the support of Team Infamy.  We strive to help the kids develop the skills and the drive they need and give them access to the best products and fields on the east coast to compete at local, Regional and even National levels of competition.

 

The History of Black Lotus began after Jason Snyder convinced his then 13year-old son Gabriel Snyder to explore tournament paintball. Gabriel who had no real prior experience with paintball had convinced his friends Hunter and Khem to form a team together to compete in three man tournaments. They then recruited Jason to coach/manage the team. Jason in turn reached out to former teammate Thomas Rumberger to help coach thus adding his step son Jonathan Gilkin to the roster. Shortly there after Jason reached out to friend and former Nppl semi professional player Steve "Squeaky" Martin, now current coach of Infamy to round out the coaching staff. Greatly impressed by the sheer commitment and boldness of this young team a proposal was made by Infamy to adopt Black Lotus as their kids team. 

 

Black Lotus has been competing since 2015, and continues to earn the respect and admiration of players, teams and referees throughout the entire season. And having always taken and doing their best to improve with the advice and tips given. The kids along with their latest additions to their ever growing roster And the recent merger with Infamy in 2019, are looking forward with great hunger to the coming seasons.

The Bloom of the Black Lotus continues.
