12 year olds playing pro in Super 7

[FeelTheRT]

the pro team Wone Concept Factory team has two 12 year olds in the roster. What is up with that?!! I would like to see how they do. They junior pros are... Alec Geockel (http://www.woneconcepts.com/html/alec_goeckel.html) and Hayden Geockel (http://www.woneconcepts.com/html/hayden_goeckel.html). Check it out, i think its real interesting to see kids that young of a age being skillful enough to play in the pro concidering you have to be atleast 10 year old to play at any field.

lol just a bug probably. Maybe they are twins or something because they have simlar interests but also slightly different.

Yeah, but go to Warpig and look how Wone did with those 12 year olds: http://www.warpig.com/paintball/tournament/nppl/2003/HuntingtonBeach/pre.shtml

There is such a thing as "working your way up"...

Yeah, they definately didn't have a strong showing there that's for sure but the Naughty Dogs sure did.

i imagine thier drills sound something like this:

"o.k. alec, you take the left tape and hayden, you take the right tape! you are each carrying 1000 balls pluss whats in your hoppers. just try to make it last the whole ten minutes! if you actually hit someone than thats even better."

just strap 14 podz on them like telford, stick em in a back bunker and tell em to have fun.

The team probably thought they had an advantage by finding two little kids, that are hard to hit, and fast. But obviously they didn't.

I wonder how they picked these kids.

Ok who here is not afraid of being hit by a paintball. Ok you two come here.

But question. Can these kids ever go back down, or will they have to stay at pros (I am not familiar with tournaments.)

By the looks of their team site, I would say their dad, Doug, plays on the team and has his twin sons, Alec and Hayden, playing with him.

However, they could be cousins. Who cares. It's interesting that they are playing at that level so soon....hmmmm.
