Establishing Command in a Paintball Game

Paintball USA, a Los Angeles Paintball Park has hosted combat training for University Cadets from Southern California Colleges and military training exercises including off site services for law enforcement using our Paintball rental equipment. https://www.paintballusa.org/ 

Using Paintballs as opposed to live ammunition is a fun way to practice combat strategy and tactics while building camaraderie amongst your team members. It’s so much safer as well. 

Paintballing develops skills of working together as a unit. As the saying goes, “there is no me in team” which perfectly applies to any team sport and military combat. As with any branch of military or government, there is a chain of command. Maybe it sounds funny, but this does apply to Paintball Games as well.

Commanders are leaders. Leaders have a strong alpha personality and charisma needed for people to listen and obey their command.  Key personality attributes of being in command are; 

  • Being able to train a player and have patience while they are learning Paintball

  • Give every player a chance to change up field positions until they are comfortable.

  • Making decisions and executing plays to team members.

  • Respect every player and give positive feedback in their skill progression.

  • Have great communication skills.

  • Possessing charisma is key for inspiration to win the game.

  • Commanders should be open to team suggestions and implement new ideas.

A perfect example of having a commanding personality is a knowledgeable Paintball Game Referee. Referees not only explain the strategy and safety rules, conduct the games of capture the flag, but when a verbal or physical alteration happens on the Paintball Field, they must handle it in an appropriate way by calling management for back up to prevent the occurrence to further escalate.

Referees need to have a command presence so players will obey the rules. There are players that remove their masks and other offenses while on the field. A referee must take control of the situation and loudly command the player to obey the safety rules or exit the game.
