Communication is key
Good communication is vital in paintball, make sure you use your voice and stay in contact with the rest of your team. Always have a plan in place for each game and don’t be scared to use hand signals or call out positions to coordinate your attack or defence. Keeping in touch wins games.

Work as a team
Paintball is a team sport, and working together is essential for success. So, share your plan before the game starts, cover each other’s backs, and support each other in the heat of the game. There is no “I” in team, teams that work together share the ultimate victory together.

Use cover effectively
In paintball, using cover to your advantage is what it’s all about. Use the terrain to protect yourself, ambush your opponents, and stay hidden until you’re ready to make your move. Always ask yourself, is moving now going to benefit me, sometimes the answer is no and waiting patiently brings really good results.

Stay low and fast
Crouching or crawling will make you a smaller target and will help you move quickly and quietly, it also gives you the advantage of surprise when popping up to shoot. The smaller a target you make yourself, the less likely you are to get shot. That being said, nothing protects you like a wall of paint coming from the end of your gun.

Reload often
Make sure you never run out of ammo in the middle of a firefight. Get into the habit of reloading after each elimination, so you’re always ready for the next baddie. If you don’t have paint in your hopper, you can’t take out the opposing player.

Stay aware of your surroundings
Keep an eye on your flanks and think about where your opponents could be hiding. Being aware of your surroundings will help you stay one step ahead of the competition. Don’t get tunnel visioned. Lots op players keep looking forward and completely forget what’s happening to their left and right. We see this all the time, but the rules say we can’t let you know.

Learn from each game
Take some time after each game to think about your last game and identify areas for improvement. Try to learn from your mistakes and think about what you could do differently next time. You should olearn from every game you play. The more you play, the better you get.

Stay calm under pressure
Paintball can be intense, and it’s important to stay calm and focused, even when the pressure is on. Take deep breaths and focus on your aim, and try not to let your emotions get the best of you. It’s really easy to go in all gung ho, but relax, wait for the right time and strike when you are ready.

Experiment with different tactics
Try different tactics in each game, and don’t be afraid to take risks. The more you experiment, the more you’ll learn about what works and what doesn’t. Also, the other team could learn your tactics if you keep doing the same thing.
