http://www.crossfire.com.sg/


Paintball is one of the world's most exciting participative sport. It is a sport in which men and women, young and old compete equally. Size and strength are not as important as intelligence and determination. Like a game of chess, being able to think quickly and decisively is what makes you a star. Paintball is also a character-building sport. Players learn the importance of teamwork and gain self-confidence while developing leadership abilities. But, above all, Paintball is fun! Once the adrenaline starts pumping you can't help but love the thrill of the game!

Paintball is a team sport and is similar to many other "ball" oriented sports, in that 2 or more teams striving to achieve a goal or objective. Paintball has rules, a scoring system, referees, leagues and international tournaments. It is a combination of tag, hide and seek, and human chess. The sport of Paintball is a non-contact, action-packed, physical and mental activity and is the most fun you will ever experience.

Paintball teaches co-operation, teamwork and friendly competition. Unlike other sports, violence has no place in the game of paintball.

Paintball has a positive influence on the community, the family and the work place. Paintball is hailed as one of the most effective forms of stress release and is used extensively in the USA and Europe for corporate situations to boost teamwork, self-confidence and control stress.
