alright my name is Jason, and i'm 15 (soon to be 16 i got my car yesterday!!)

i try to play every weekend if my budget allows it

i play walk-on speedball at my local field, my team has just started entering some local tournies though

i really like it hear at AO, every member here shares thier opinions openly but doing soo in a way that doesn't offend everyone, here at AO it's more like a really big family!

Hey there!

My name is Josh Parsons AKA Gotenks (the goat bbaaaahhhhh)

I am 15 years old
I used to play once every month, but I haven't been playing much lately because I'm trying real hard to get my car.
I like to play speedball as much as I can, I find it much funner than big fields.
I expect AGD members to be good players, and have pride in the equipment they bring on the field.

I'll be 16 in a month (Dying for my permit). I play about 2-3 times a week, and I ref once a month. After school gets out next week I should be playing a lot more often. I started playing about 3 or 4 years ago with my trusty stingray, then I got my minimag a few months ago. I play mostly woods and rec, some of the attitudes in tourney scare me away. As far as you guys, I agree with everyone else: sportsmanship is very important, winning certainly helps, and most of all, be good representatives of AGD. People will judge AGD on your actions, so make sure that those actions make people think 'Man, that looks like a great company, I mean their team is great and they're really friendly, plus they make some sweet markers' rather than make people think 'Look at those guys, they sure don't seem very happy. I guess AGD has some problems' I'm sure you guys already know and do this, I just want AGD to get the best representation it can outthere to the consumers.

Oh yeah, I'm from upstate New York. Anyone else around here?

Awwww geeeeze...another how old are you....

Ok...If you must...I am about to turn over 46...been playing (if you can call what I do playing) almost two years is it? I forget. Seem lately we have spent more time at the field working but not leaving enough time to play! Anyway I go in to it at the encouragement of my kid who is now about to turn 16 (and getting to be pretty darn good at it) and my buddy Walt (known here as FatMan) Walt is the Clemson University Paintball Club Faculty Advisor and I assist him and them somewhat. FatMan is actualy a pretty darn good player too, at the ripe old age of 40. But we both are broken down somewhat and limited with back injuries from many years of abuse to our bodies. In my case my mind is sharp but my body doesn't always listen to it. So we ref a lot now. And mess with Markers.

Most of the others have made the points about what we expect of you. Just do the right thing when its the right thing to do and have some fun. Enjoy it while you can Harry...your gettin old! :)

Hey Harry. I think its great that are here asking these questions, thanks for taking the time, even if it is "encouraged" by Tom :)

I'm 22, I play about twice a month or so, I play mostly speedball (As my sig says, captain of Team Black Cell). Been playing since 1997 or so, although the first three years was just a few times a year, and I'd rent a Tippman.

As for what I'd like to see from AGD teams, I don't know about anyone else, but there is one thing that I ALWAYS like to hear from experienced teams.

Drills. As a captain, I'm constantly trying to come up with drills that challange my players and myself and force us to improve our skills. One thing I can never hear enough about is what kind of drills to run. I played a lot of sports, from kindergarten through the beginning of college, and I remember how much drills are needed, but its tough thinking of them for paintball sometimes. For soccer, or lacrosse, you can go out and buy a coaching book full of drills. For paintball, there is no such thing.

I would love to see some hints on what sort of drills to run. I hope that eventually someone DOES write a book of sorts. Hell, if I got enough drills together I could probably write it myself... :)

Anyway, if you could give a couple drills that you guys run, that would be great. Something with a little detail more than "We do 2 on 1s with flags" which seems to be about as much detail as I get out of most people I've asked.

Thanks either way...

Name: Jason "Muzikman" Beam
Age: 25 Years Old

Paintball Background: Been playing since 92, but do not play nearly as much as I would like. Still tinker with the guns every couple nights (Boy nylon balls are great to have in the basement).

How Often I play: If I play once a month I am doing good.

Type of Play: Rec and Tournament play. Play only on pickup teams for tournaments. Will never play on an organized team again.

My expectations: For any sponsored team, not just AGD sponsored is about the same as everyone else, but I will add...

Play Safe! Play Fair!! Have Fun!!! -- PPS
