The Next Step

O.K. so now that we have more then enough players, strong, dedicated players, and a young guns team it is time to start building our lines for X-Ball because the season is here. Just like football season and baseball season comes around so does paintball season. And well, its that time now. So with the x-ball team finally built its time to make our 5 man lines. Personally I feel we need 3 lines, line 1 should consist of Joe, Matt, Dave, Ryan, and Mike Papa, line 2 should be Tom, Vinny, Bobby, Marty, and myself, and finally line 3, the powerline, should be Dave, Papa, Marty, myself, and Bobby. But we will see what Joe and Dave want to.

Status

This post is to just update the status of the team. The team is doing well, really well in fact, everyone is really stepping up everyone is super dedicated to making podium at World Cup. We have been practicing almost every Sunday including alot of Tuesdays or Thursdays. So to say we could win consistently is an almost certainty. Hopefully we can keep this tempo going.
Other news, we have picked up some sponsors, not going to drop any names yet because its still a little early but I'll let everyone know who we got soon enough.

Paintball=Life

So I figured I would take a little time and explain why I love so much about paintball and explain why I have devoted my life to this sport. First of all I do want to stress that paintball is a sport, its the world's number 1 extreme sport.
I have been playing paintball since I was 8 years old, the first time I played it was in the woods and I was scared to death fo getting shot, however I did fall in love with paintball. I been playing ever since, its just the rush, its a drug, any serious player will tell you that it just sucks you in. Also any one can play there are no discriminations in this sport. I love this sport and I had decided to just stick with it, I have played all over the U.S. including Canada. I love paintball and I wanna play for as long as I can. Its taken over my life, but I don't care because I wouldn't trade my expereinces, freinds, and teammates for anything else. Paintball is my life

Birth of Young Guns

Now that the team has finally come together, a full roster of players, and now even more people wanting to tryout and play for A.S.K. it has been decided to start a young guns 5 man team. Things have been going pretty well, everyone on the team is starting to gel, everyone is also starting to really step up their game. Things in fact, having been going so well that we started a young guns team for everyone who is under the age of 18 and wants to be part of the All Star family. There are currently about 8 or 9 players on the kids team, and all are very talented. However only the future will tell about how talented they really are.

Impact

O.K. so as you already know, our first scrimmage ever with the Blunt Riders didn't go as we had hoped, infact it went so bad that w eonly won 2 out of 25 games. But also as you know we took our beatings and worked on our mistakes. Taking our new found knowledge we scrimmed a new team called Impact, they are a local team looking to compete at the same level as A.S.K. So the line up was me, vinny, tom, marty, and joe. An dour 5 rolled over Impact win all of our games and almost every game we won with every one still alive. So the team is starting to look better and growing stronger, but only time will tell how good we actually are.

Scrim

The team finally had its first scrimmage against a very talented GPL team called Blunt Riders, we practiced 5 man with an X-ball style, making it very fast and intense. The scrimmage turned out to be difficult, it turned out that alot of people were not comfortable with there assignments and our communication needed alot of work. So by the end of the night after playing for about 4 hours, and playing atleast 25 games, we only won 2 matches against Blunt Riders.
However, although we didn't do as well as we had hoped, what doesn't kill only makes you stronger...and smarter. We took our beatings and discussed what we felt needed to be changed. We took all of our mistakes and used them as a drive to get better and then hopefully winour next scrimmage.
