set up with age
brackets in order
for new players to
interact with same
skill level and experience. We often
see newer players
being put against
experienced players and a one sided game occurs
all too often. The
outcome was that
these new players
are disheartened
and don’t return to
the field.

Do you have a suggestion for introducing
more people to our game?
I would suggest smaller events with better referee staffs. Events could include clinics put on
by professionals or experienced staff in order to
teach players the proper way of sport. A clinic
could be done in combination of cheaper paint
and a fun environment for encourage young and
old players new to the sport. Encouraging teamwork and a paintball family environment would
not only bring in single players but groups to try
and stay with the sport.
What do you like about woodsball/scenario/
milsim in comparison to speedball/tournament
paintball?
Woodsball fields are generally larger fields with
the ability of not seeing your opponent at the
start of the game. I feel it is more exciting when
you can’t see every angle/portion of the field.
Stealth and communications via radio/hand signals make it more tense but at slower pace. I
also appreciate the fact that Woodsball can be
played by younger and older players due to a
toned down play style. Patience and shot accuracy coupled with teamwork and an all ages atmosphere keeps all ages motivated to play.
Thanks Michael!
