So you'd like to start your own paintball team right?


Great.

All great teams once stood exactly where you do today, but they didn't become great overnight. The most obvious of recommendations that any article such as this will make stresses -Practice-. What if your not quite to that point yet? Well, the very first stages involve assembling the team itself, choosing equipment, and pin pointing a common goal. Most teams struggle to agree and adapt to the different styles of paintball; woods, scenario, and speedball. Your equipment will have to be chosen accordingly.

 

Speedballers: Players will need to experiment until they are comfortable designating themselves as primarily a front or back player. High-end speedball equipment almost always runs of compressed air tanks as opposed to carbon dioxide (CO2). Quality speedball equipment often focuses on high rates of fire as well as consistency.

Woodsballers: Considering your interested in creating a team, you've likely played paintball in the woods before. After all, thats where the sport began. Generally, these guns run off of CO2 and are much more reliable than performance-tuned speedball guns. Tippman markers are a popular choice among woodsball fans.

Scenario: Considered by many the most unique from of paintball. Scenario games can simply be a standard woodsball game with some central theme added. Equipment varies depending on the conditions faced in each particular game.

 

Now for the ugly part, taking charge.

 

You may have organized the team and perhaps your even the best player, but does that mean your captain material? Always vote for the most motivated and mature person to take the captain's chair. Every team needs someone able to finalize decisions that the rest of the team cannot seem to agree on. Boundaries (if your playing woodsball), event scheduling, and general team strategy all must be thoroughly planned and laid out. As your team progresses you may find the need to recruit additional players or remove those who find themselves unable to participate as often as the rest. Remember, it's a learning process-make sure you keep it fun.
