Paintball in Me =)

I started playing paintball about 5 years ago, mainly just for leisure. 

Each of us started playing paintball from different aspects, some played in sub-urban scenarios, woodsball and rec-ball type of scenarios, in friendly skirmishes. As we grew into liking game, we somehow met up and played several woodsball & speedball game together.

Two of us joined the speedball game with another team, for experience sake to know more what is speedball. We both found out more about the game and gotten the interest into challenging self to accomplish the drills and more.

We started of by asking friends that are interested in the game and would love to grow and excel in the team together. Some were suggesting that we should wait a while before forming the team. One of us, suddenly just said "Let's make this team happen! , Lets do it!"
This team was founded & formed in December 2010. We called ourselves Team B.I.N.G.O.



What B.I.N.G.O  is also known as Being Insane Never Goes Offz. This also means that all our team mates are somewhat kooky, random, unpredictable and always wanting to have fun. 
We participated in our very first tournament in January 2011 in Division 4. Knowing that our team was formed about a month before the first tournament, we had about five (5) training sessions in a total of about 20 hours of training. The training consists of slide, dive, snap-shooting and basics knowledge of bunker names. 

From our first tournament, we the experiences we made together as a team, we had created a friendship-family bond with each other. We trained and played together, however, every team has its up and downs; we still keep it strong. 





Team Bingo had retired. As most of us has already went separate ways; into a different teams, because of work & life. Some of us has retired from paintball, but the bond of friendship throughout this journey had maintained strong. We constantly have outings, gathering and such. 


That's a little history of what happened to the team. Right now there are a few of them whom are still actively playing paintball in tournaments, in several different divisions and we all support them through. 

I have kinda stopped playing paintball on a regular basis, partially because of no team to train with and also the time constraints due to my work. Every now and then I/we will pop by to the field to let our trigger happy fingers loose.

Wonders how the paintball field looks like?  Take a look at the photo below.

Happy run
Look at how happy he is while doing warm ups. We all enjoy being out in the sun, and getting ready to shoot some balls. Before playing any sport, it's always good to warm up first before playing. By warming up, you would be able to avoid unnecessary injury, muscle pulls and etc.

As usual, there will be more guys playing this sport...however there are girls that plays this sport too. Like me!! xD 

Before gearing up, looking clean & fresh
Yea ya... the photo seems somewhat not in action. Here's some in action & candid shot.

Paintball is a fantastic sport to play with friends & colleagues. It's a great way for team building, bonding and lots of fun. From all of the fun, it's a workout too. Make sure to hydrate yourself while playing paintball and after the games. 


There's an international tournament "Paintball World Cup" coming up soon in the next few months.
