Paintball is a sport whose participants use markers to shoot paintballs (roughly marble-sized, .68 caliber, gelatin capsules filled with colored polyethylene glycol "paint") at other players. Compared to other sports, paintball has only become popular in the last few decades. The game emerged in the 1980s and quickly became popular. The game has drawn a wide array of players worldwide and is found in most major countries in the world.
The game can be played indoors or outdoors in a varying range of styles. There are no specific rules for playing paintball, leaving the game objectives, strategies, and plays to the imagination of the player and the regulations of the field.

Paintball! : Strategies & Tactics
by Bill Barnes
Paintball is a game that basically involves "running around in the woods, playing hide-and-seek, and trying to shoot your buddies with paint." The goal is to capture the opponents' flag and return it to home base before opponents are able to do the same. The sport blends elements of the old kids' game "Capture the Flag" and modern-day survivalist techniques. The book covers game rules, equipment needs, physical conditioning, tactics, and, most importantly, how to find a paintball field. Though it touches on the rudiments, this is intended primarily for intermediate and advanced players. The paucity of material on the topic could create a demand for this manual.

Paintball 101
by Larry Sekely
If you are looking to learn about the exciting sport of paintball from the basics to starting your own team, check out Paintball 101*...the first step... the introductory course.
Larry Sekely works and lives in the Tampa Bay area with his wife of 19 years, Barbara, his son, Jason, age 16, and his daughter, Jessica, age 13. He was introduced to paintball by Jason, who was 10 at the time, shortly after attending a friends’ birthday paintball party at a local field. Over the next several years, Larry and his son played paintball in all their spare time and eventually began to participate in local tournaments. In the summer of 2003, they formed Team ICE with a couple of Jason’s friends. By the summer of 2004, the team had grown in size and skill level and had finished at the top in tournaments in Miami, Port Canavaral, as well as Tampa. Team ICE disbanded shortly after the tragic death of their co-captain, Chris Hidalgo, in July 2004.
Larry currently plays for "Men at Work", a team comprised of the fathers (and in one case the grandfather) of younger paintball enthusiasts. The team has a minimum age requirement of 40 years old. They just started playing NPPL and PSP tournaments through out the state of Florida with plans to go national in 2006.

The Weekend Warriors
by Scott Malensek
The Weekend Warriors is NOT a "How to Play Paintball" book. It’s just a chronicle of one man’s paintball war stories. There have been incredible changes in the sport and the players over the years. Stories range from the early days of single-shot breach loading pistols to today’s digitally enhanced full-auto marvels of technology. There’s a lot to be learned from listening to the tales of how it was back in the old days, and new paintballers might just be able to learn from someone else’s mistakes!
