Beginner players are often terrified of paintball because of how dangerous it is made out to be. No Matter what people tell you it is not so dangerous! There are only a few injuries that you can sustain while playing paintball and most are just real minor injuries you can get playing any other sport in the world.
The first injury I would like to talk about that you can get while playing paintball is the one that all beginners, even experienced player fear the most.

For some, woodsball is the ultimate simulation, while others see it as an unofficial game. If your thinking about playing or even investing in woodsball paintball equipment, here are some things you should know about the game. 1) Woodsball takes guts. It's not for the faint of heart. The forest isn’t full of woodland creatures that are going to aid you on your way; it’s full of dangers from bugs to snakes.

Communication is the unseen edge in paintball. It's one of the most important aspects of woodsball and even paintball as a whole. Without communication, your potential 1st place team is turned into a pack of unorganized barbarians that any competent team can take out. In woodsball, communication is even more important; avoiding ambushes and knowing which part of the field is laden with explosives will definitely keep you playing longer.

Even though there has been has been a shift towards more militaristic markers, speedball markers still are a great option for the game. Unlike magazine fed markers or woodsball markers in particular, the main advantage of speedball guns is the speed and light weight.
One of the great things about speedball markers is they are incredibly fast.

Bunkering is a move for more experienced players. It can be trouble for less experienced players, because there are so many things that can go wrong. To be successful with bunkering, the player needs to be able to mix things up with little warning. When a player is bunkering his opponent, he charges straight at a bunker that is occupied by an opposing player, shooting as he goes.

In paintball, it is considered unsportmanlike to shoot a player from closer than 25 feet. Sometimes you can sneak up on a player or if you get too close to him to shoot, you can use the 'Barrel Tap'. A Barrel Tap is when a player eliminates his opponent from the game by taping him on the back with the barrel of his

A paintball strategy usually includes all of the player's or team's pre-planned tactics that they will use to complete the objective or win the game. The best advice for a team is to select a painball strategy based on the teammates they have near them, the alignment of the opposition, and the format of the game being played. Strategies must often be different when playing on flat surfaces and airball

Evaluate your playing skills by monitoring three things.... the way you move, the way you shoot and the way you coordinate moves with other teammates. Great paintballers learn how to shoot to take out the opposition - while moving, and work well with their teammates to stay alive through key moments in the game. For the most effective shooting in games, there's no better exercise to improve other than shooting itself! The more you shoot, the better you get.

It has often been said that a well coached team with excellent field communication skills can triumph over a collection of players with superior talent and paintball gear (but poor communication skills). In most paintball games, there are several positions you can choose to play on your team.

A paintball attack is when a team makes their move towards the enemy side of the field, make a surge to the opposing team's flag, or makes a move towards the defending team's players. There are hundreds of different paintball games and your method of attack may be different for each, depending on the objective of the game or other variables, like whether or not there are bunkers to hide behind.
-
Always be honest. There is no need to call a paint check if you are hit with splatter. Suck it up, announce that you are out, and exit the field.
- The most important rule is to never take your goggles off. Eye injuries are the most devastating injury in paintball, and all eye injuries are avoidable.

Have you ever heard the saying, "How do you get to Carnagie Hall? ... Practice, practice, practice." If you want to get better at something (like paintball), you have to practice. So like anything else, if you want to get good at paintball, you have to practice; but where?

Stay on the move! Successful players manage to survive longer when they stay on the move, and change positions frequently. When players move during a game, they are hard to hit. Move around keep moving until you have your enemy in a position where you think that you can make high percentage shots, and be vigilant towards finding the best angles to shoot from to take your most effective shots at the enemy.

Sponsorship; the one thing every paintball team wants to have. Most players looking for sponsors think its all about getting free stuff.

Sponsors are really great to have but only if you help them out.... one way to do this is by putting their name on your equipment and spreading the word about that company.

Before starting a game, strategize with your team to decide on who's going to go where and how you're going to move on the paintball field as a team.

Wearing the right foot wear on the paintball field is very important. Make sure you get what you need for what kind of game your playing. If you're playing woodsball, I would recommend buying a good comfortable pair of light weight boots; if speedball is your game, I recommend wearing an old, or cheap pair of cleats.

What I Love About Paintball
What I love about paintball is being able to have loads of fun with my teammates and friends. Another reason I love paintball is the fact that I can just go out to a paintball field and just run around shooting people - where else can you do that?!. I play paintball not just because it's fun, but also because it's a very competitive sport.

When playing "snake", it is very common that you would crawl on your one hand and knees from one end to the other; this is a very good strategy but there is one cruecial error with it, almost everyone who crawls like such uses their palm, wich is of course the most confortable and instinctive way to do it, but DON'T. I'm telling you now, if you do you're risking seriously hyper-extending something in your arm or wrist, and that's not fun at all. Instead of crawling like that, on your knees, hold your gun with one hand, and put your other arm down so that you're crawling on your forearm and knees, kind of like an elevated-ass-single-armed-army-crawl.
