remember to tie your shoelaces and you should be fine.
I have my first game coming up....

One thing I always see new people doing is jumping into nearby bunkers right at the whistle. You have to remember range is limited on paintball guns, so they can't shoot at you when you are that far away (Unless it is a small field, like speedball).
Most of the time, when I play in the woods, unless I'm tearing up field on the break (80% of the time) I just stroll up field, gun in firing position, and watch where they run (the other 20% of the time, when Im tired from running upfield
)
It's a good way to start, just walk upfield until you notice paint getting near you, then find a bunker or a wide enough tree. Obviously, don't walk INTO paint, but you'd be surprised how far upfield you can just walk, right past people on your own team who are hiding in bunkers.
I generally prefer standing behind trees if possible, that way you can move quicker when needed, and your knees don't get sore, etc.
Basically, the lesson I'm trying to show here is don't be afraid to move up. I see too many people dive into a bunker 2 feet outside thier starting zone, and then they don't get any action until they get bunkered in the end of the game. First off, your team could use you MUCH more closer to the action, and second, you'll have a lot more fun if you move towards the action, as opposed to waiting for it to come to you.
Here is some old advice:
Don't make noise, it draws fire.
Don't draw fire, it makes people nervous.
If you are going to draw fire, do it over there.
Replace the noise part with something more applicable, like rolling around on the floor
