you need practice. i hope when you played on your buddys field his field had a good air bunker set up. playing air ball is a different sport then playing any other type of paintball, especially if your just messing around with your buddies. i played woods ball for about 2 years, than spent about 600 on new equipment once i started playing airball. you must have good equipment, it wont be worth it to go out and get dominated. i hope you have a high end electronic marker with high pressure air. your also going to need electronic hoppers, and most of all, you need to have a harness. you must have atleast enough paintballs for about 3 hoppers full. no use for a front man or back man. you from man will get shot and your backman will get cornered. naturally you guys will be in different positions in the fron or back of the field. if you want to win, take it seriously. I have been playing for about 6 years, and play against Dynasty weekly. Dont be surprised when the guys you play have the best equipment. Lots of people you play will have the top of the line equipment, and it IS a big advantage, next to experience.

I agree with what everyone eles said it depends on how good you are and how famous you may become.  Seeing as your well experienced with the instuments, all you have to do now is get someone to hear you play. someone that can help you out

I don't really thing there are any tricks to play better, the only tip that I can give you is to practice. I think it all comes down to that. When I used to play, I practiced 3-4 hours a day and I played pretty well... now that I haven't played in a few years I can't even hit the backboard -_-'. :) but yea, just practice if you really want to impress your friends.

have you ever considered airsoft?\n\nthe weapons, tactics, gear and clothing are more authentic than the neon gear and guns with tumors used in paintball...\n\njust a thought..

driving on a fast break its best to pick up and get the goalie up then shoot when they fall. if you've got heavy d from behind a quick screw or t shot is perfect. but experiment with what feels best for you. i know a few people that cant make a traditional wet shot to save their life, but have created their own versions that work well for them.

linebacker is a tough position its all about making reads you need to pick up on stuff like how the guard is blocking the play which side of the offense is the strenghth, how many backs are in the backfield, and you need to be able to pick up on wing backs.  Also once you recognize this you need to make calls to let the line know everything you know.  also on run plays you need to be able to fill up holes.  But i would still say go for it i played it through high school and had a great time.  YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ON THE FIELD BECAUSE ITS TOUGH TO PLAY IF YOU SRE CONFUSED OR GUESSING AT WHAT PLAY THEY ARE RUNNING

Okay. In order to play soccer, you have to be in VERY good shape. Soccer players are some of the best athletes on the planet because they have to be constantly moving up and down a huge field. If you want to be a striker/forward, you will need to be able to sprint, but you will not be doing as much running as midfield/halfback. Midfields stay in the middle of the field and run an average of 2-4 miles, depending on the intensity in the game, in high school, and more in college. Soccer is very competitive in some areas. Do not be afraid of coming into contact with the ball because you will need to head it(use your hairline), and trap it with your chest, torso, and legs. Practice should be intensive, based on the personality of the coach. You will do antything from running sprints to passing to running miles to scrimmaging. And as to the goalie question, usually a player volunteers to be a goalie. If no one volunteers, which is highly unusual, then the coach should determine the goalie based on which player is least intimidated by the ball and has the quickest reflexes. No, no one will make you be goalie. You always have the option of saying no or quitting the team. Soccer is a very intensive sport, but I love it. I am currently playing on a high school varsity team and I love it. I usually play right midfield, but can be subbed in for the forward position. In my opinion, soccer is the best sport and really helps get the stress out. Advice: think of someone you hate/would love to smack and kick the ball with all your might. Kick using your shoelaces and lean back to put power into your kick. Pass the ball with the side of your foot. When shooting, never use your toe. And finally, never use your arms to trap the ball. Some referees call a handball only if the ball touched the actual hand, but most usually call it for any part of the arm. Good luck, chica!!! :D

Aggressive is good!  It is better than being scared of the ball.  I play field hockey, and the majority of the opponents are good, and very aggressive.  \n\nRemember to get low!  Squatting and bending your knees is where all of your power will come from.  Also, if you plan to play midfielder, make sure that you are in really really good shape..meaning RUNNING ALOT.  If you go from defense to midfield in last minute switches, o boy, let me tell you..  but just make sure you are running alot and have great endurance!\n\nhave fun.. its an amazing game

You don't really need a "backup" for the infield positions (C, 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, ss)...unless of course you got stud players at those positions.  Catcher, 2B, SS are typically weak positions.  I don't know which players you have, but I'm guessing you could have more productive players on your team.  It's not that important to have a backup for each position.\n\nIt's a very good idea to get players that can play multiple positions...gives you a lot of flexibility.  \n\nAs far as pitching goes, 3 or 4 closers is just right...assuming they are good ones.  I don't know who your starting pitchers are so I can't comment on them. =]

sure all the way back, i will give u 3 a side. Automatic press if u get 3 down. press anytime if u are behind. either party can press for the hole and the hole only at anytime the opponents tee shot is in the air. be it going out of bounds, woods, water or fairway. trash talk is acceptable. My "hanicap" is plus 2.7 on a 119 slope rated course 6500 back tees. built in 1937. with postage stamp greens. let me know ok?

It depends on where you want to play. If you mean state parks or whatever, I would really doubt it because of injury. You're best bet would be to play on your own property or a frineds property. Besides that, aren't there any fields that you can go play at? Go to this website it's about paintball park reviews. Just take a look...\nhttp://www.pbreview.com/fields/23/

Lefties suck at infield, if u want to play and be successful make the switch to outfield. i have been playing outfield for 2 years and i absolutely love it, as u get older more balls will be hit into the outfield, there is no better feeling in baseball then making a diving catch...Have fun kid

the best beginner guns on the market are the tippmann 98 custom the custom pro, and the A-5 you can literally bang them against a brick wall and they will still work lie they came out of the box. a big bonus is that you can customize these guns to fit your style of play as you get more experienced. you can put on sniper barrels, drop in just about anything that will make you shoot faster, you can put on nitrogen without having to replace any parts, and so much more plus tippmann just came out with a new anti chop system for these guns so that means if a paintball gets stuck you can still shoot without having to clean your barrel. another thing is that you can field strip it and fix the gun if it malfunctions during a game. tippmann has made great strides in producing reliable, dependable, and cheap markers. i would recommend them to anyone even to people who have been playing longer than i have

I'm sorry to say you would only last one play and then end up as a little spot on the field where you took the first hit.\nTry Little Gridders if you are young enough.
