Anyone interested in playing paintball?
Paintball is one of the fastest growing extreme sport in the world
with over 10 million players. There are professional and leagues in
North America Europe Australia and there is even a league in Asia
(PALS).
I play a tournament version of Paintball called Speedball which is
played on a football field with air filled bunkers. Teams of 5 or 7
go head to head in 5 min games - alot of PB pellers and alot of
agression, seed and firepower goes into a game of Speedball.
There are other types of games like woodsball/scenario which is
played in the jungle and is more military styled. Many types of
games of scenarios can be played- attack/defend a
base/castle/capture your enemys flag etc.
Most guys get hooked by the thrill of combining shooting running
and tactics in paintball and the team building with
colleagues/friends. Paintball is popularly used as a method of team
building by companies because you need team work and trust to win a
game.
Currently there are no places to play speedball in Singapore and
there is no proper competition/league. I only play in KL because of
cost and facilities. It costs up to 5 times more to play in
Singapore than in KL. To give you an example it costs as low as
RM75 for 500 PB pellets plus marker (gun), mask and protection kit
rental. I havent found anywhere to play PB in JB but there is
rumours that there will be one place opening soon.
Anyone/any age/any gender can play paintball. There are ladies
teams in Malaysia competing in the PALS Asian league with other
ladies teams. The largest number of paintball players in the world
are kids below the age of 18.
If you'd like to try playing paintball in KL please contact me via
email - I'm looking for people to play with or to form a team for
the MPOL league.
If you have any questions please feel free to post it in here to
email me
Have a nice day.
