Hey guys. I just signed up onto Tippmann.com. Ive been playing paintball for almost a year. Im starting a paintball team called WTSF, or Woodsball Tactical Strike Force. Currently i have no members and am, of course, looking. We are a highly strategic and diciplined team of specialized paintballers. We are ONLY based in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
I will plan a match out every other weekend, and practise will be the Saturday and Sunday in between matches. Im gonna try to get us sponsored by Tippmann, if I get seven members. (including myself) There will be 1 captain (me) 3 riflemen (semi-auto) 1 sniper (long range) and 2 machine gunners (fully auto) I hope to get a lot of e-mails from candidates. Thanks and see ya on the field.

Here it goes....
BUT I like how he says, "We are a highly strategic and diciplined team of specialized paintballers." When he says, "we" after saying, "Currently i have no members." |

As a sponsored scenario baller, I'd like to offer a word of advice: forgo the "specialized paintballer" ideology. Having strategically limited players will only limit the flexibility of your team. For example, a 7-man team all shooting the same kind of gun (for pure performance, preferably an electro) where all the teammates are jack-of-all-trades players will be able to insert themselves in any situation that may arrive. What happens if your "sniper" becomes surrounded? Wouldn't it be nice if he can switch to full auto, like the "machine-gunners?"
Don't worry about strategy. For the most part (and I emphasize that), it goes right out the window when you get caught in a paint flinging situation. Work on getting your team to communicate and work well with each other, instead of separate from each other! Good luck, and have fun! |

Listen to Detrevini.
Never give players roles in such a strict sense. Paintball is not war and you'd do well not to pretend it is. You should definitely not dish out roles for players who don't exist yet. This may be a bit presumptuous but I reckon you should play in the big game scene before trying to put a team together. Tippmann for one must receive a few hundred requests for sponsorship at any time and if you are after a good sponsorship deal then you will have to be good at PR as well as shooting fools. Like Detrevini I was a sponsored player. My team was the first scenario team in Europe to get a "full ride" sponsorship, by Smart parts. It was bloody hard so don't expect something for nothing. You will spend a lot of cash just getting people to notice you and you better be able to chat away with the folk that matter. Good luck young parawan!

Waddya guys think about this? I take out the roles until I find my teammates stregnths and weaknesses. I take out the sniper and the team is always in a reasonable distance of each other. To get members, I print out flyers and pass em out at school. How bout that?

Public relations. Getting people to know and care who you are, and to take you more seriously than any other group of kids who want to play paintball with some sort of sponsorship subsidy.

Do us all a favor and do not post multiple times in a row. Please use the edit button.
I suggest you not print out flyers, but rather find friends at school to go paintballing with and see where that brings you.

^Forum etiquette is a strange thing at first.
Don't make the same mistake a lot of people do, enjoy paintball, have fun with your friends, brag about the big bruises. Don't turn it into something that is going to become a hassle instead of a good time. Just my $.02

I think that if you enjoy it, then why not do it for a career, even temporarily.

you have to weigh out how that will work though, IE would you get paid more doing something else, etc. basically just to touch on what some of the other guys have said, have fun with it. Don't get too bogged down with positions, for a few reasons. As mentioned, if a "sniper" is pinned down, they would need to go "automatic", or vise versa. if you want to get into putting a woods team together, i would more focus on Army battle drills...ambush, basic flanking, etc. I think that will help you MUCH more than assigning positions... Ceesman can attest that on the rare occassion, you'll have to clear a trench (another battle drill) out at HIVI outdoor in Coram. On the other hand, if you want to pick up some cash or professional work in the future, your best bet would be to study the NPPL (I forget the other league) positions and try to see who can do what around those guidelines, and just get good. Just remember, you don't have to be on a paintball field to practice fundamentals. That can save you some money in the beginning. Then start entering novice tournaments as your team gets better, or even off the bat just to guage what you need to work on as a whole. I'm going to get off my soap box now, starting to get a nose bleed up here ![]() |
