A Word From The Captain....
Things That Make A Team Run Smoothly
In paintball, trust is an important factor in our game. Front players
break towards the 50 and stay low until they can eliminate key
opponents off the field. Back players throw down suppressive fire
to cover their front players. Mid Players stand ready to fill any
position necessary if any teammates get eliminated. All players
depend on one another to get the job done, and trust must be
given so there is no fear of running out unprotected. Front players
rely on their back players to cover them, and hope not to get shot
in the back by teammates. In a tournament, the team depends on
our pit crew to have our pods filled, our scores tallied, and our
tanks gassed up. If they don’t, we may forfeit ourselves from any
upcoming matches. We rely on them to have us prepared for the
next game. As captain, I hold all the team’s finance and they
confide that im not buying new tires for my car with the monthly
dues. We print copies of the team finances, and pass out updated
memos to every member so that they will know where our money is.
I also approve all of our tactics and strategies, and make sure that
the team is on the same page. I would never send my team out
unless they are focused, and ready to play. I make sure that the
transportation is provided so that we can get to all of our practice
sessions and games. Without trust, all this is not possible, and we
had to build our reliance in eachother over time. If your team all
shares the same goals, and are willing to cooperate with the plan,
trust will come naturally.
If you are in a team, and not sure if that team is for you, ask
yourself these questions: 1. Do I know where the team finances
are going to? Make sure that paint is being brought, team uniforms
are acquired, and entry fees are paid. That’s what team dues
should be paying for. 2. Is the team treasurer reluctant to answer
questions about the teams money? There should be nothing to
hide, and finances should be ready to be presented on request by
any team member. After all, it is YOUR money. 3.may I call on any
member of the team to talk about non paintball related issues?
Practice sessions should not be the only time that you
communicate with your team. You don’t have to be the best of
friends, just be sure you can reach out to them. Developing a bond
with teammates will help, on and off the field. 4. Is my captain hard
to find? A committed leader always makes himself available to his
team whenever possible. There are many questions to be
answered when trying to run a team, and frequent team meetings
with all members present can help things run smoothly. 5.Does the
team share my same goals? You are not gonna get to the NPPL by
playing recreational paintball. Make sure that the team has a
mutual desire to play, and win, in local tournaments firstly, and as
the team progresses, take it up a notch. 6. Is there any real talent
on the team? No one wants to join an organizations with lousy
players. Make sure that they, along with yourself, has what it takes
to compete. Real teams utilize strategies, tactics, playbooks, and
have specific drills that sharpen snapshooting skills, diving and
sliding techniques, breakout drills, and much more. Look on the
internet in paintball forums and find a team that plays like a team.
You will often see tryouts being held, but don’t jump on the 1st
team that you see. Try a few and see who fits your style of play.
With a little work, along with some luck, you may find the team that
you want to compete with.
