Becoming good at anything requires practice and paintball is no exception. Here are some basic tips to help you practice your paintball.
The first tip is also the most obvious option - just play the game. There is never one game that will dramatically teach you everything you need to know about the sport. Instead, with countless games under your belt you pick up tips, tricks and strategies. You will learn to anticipate what your opponents will do. You'll improve your shooting. You'll become comfortable with your gun as it feels like an extension to your body. As you spend time playing game after game you will improve.More »
The time to master your individual skills is when you are alone. Don't be afraid to spend time on the field or in the woods all by yourself and work on your shooting, movement and positions on the field. Just as basketball players spend hours shooting alone on the court, you should spend time working on your individual skills. As you improve what you can do alone, you'll be better prepared to play with others and improve your team skills.More »
Paintball is a game of teams and you need to practice with other people. A key is to get to know the people on your team and to play with them outside of games. It's never much fun to spend a long time just playing against an invisible team, but you should walk through games, evaluate potential strategies and spend lots of time learning how your teammates play the game. If you know you can rely on one teammate to hold the middle but you know another one struggles on the outside, you'll know who to go help during an actual game.More »
