RMPPA Position clinic and Team Recruiting Event.

2008-04-07T15:09:00.001-07:00

The first RMPPA endorsed event found over 100 players on a great day. Position clinics included the Sniper, Dagger, Sabre and Broadsword positions. Experienced players from some of the biggest teams in the Rocky Mountain area shared their knowledge to help players become
better at their position. MOATI from SpecialOps was also on hand to offer his vast experience in the Broadsword clinic. Each position clinic was ably instructed, and included immediate feedback on tactics and execution during short live fire exercises.

After a break for lunch, teams separated into battle groups for a large Triad event. The recruits and casual players divided amongst the teams and play started. Everyone was able to put their new skills to the test in a successful and fun Triad event.

RMPPA did a very good job for the inaugural event of the organization. The collaboration between the veteran teams was felt throughout the day. This shows a strong start to the RMPPA and that players all over want to be part of something more in paintball. The RMPPA took the opportunity to express the importance of safety, sportsmanship and comradely in the sport we all love.

Special thanks to Desert edge for the use of their field and for all the work they have done to improve the playing area.

MOATI from Special Ops Paintball for his support of the RMPPA, instruction and input throughout the day.
