More Than Just a Paintball Team
One of the most common things you will hear a member of the Team proudly say is , “ We are more than Just a Paintball Team ” But , what exactly do they mean ? Most importantly , Why .
Back in the early days of 2007 , I was asked by a good friend to join him and bring back our sleeping paintball Team . To which I agreed , but with a few caveat ’ s . One of those being ; Let ’ s use this new Team to give back to our children and community . We both shook hands and agreed on several other points and further invited another friend in to further support this new Team .

We started giving back by stepping up and assisting our Sponsor Field ( Weekend Warriors Paintball ) with a season long series of Tactical games . Due to the amount of work involved , we were only able to field twice . However , we were able to ensure that the tactical series ran and that other teams were able to play .
Furthermore , In our early days , being more than just a paintball team meant taking time away from games for Team building , family bbq ’ s , geocaching and fishing trips . But , we were still missing out on our idea of truly giving back .
It wasn ’ t until August of 2011 were we given the chance to give back to the community as a Team . We had the pleasure of staffing and assisting in the coordination of a charity scavenger hunt . With the proceeds going to Meals on Wheels in
