Balls of Fire was formed in 2006 after a paintball outing that was for corporate team building.  After the first taste of rental gear we decided that we would buy our own markers, Spyder Rodeo's.  They were a huge upgrade from the rentals and we spent many hours trying to make them better (well as best we could.)  We moved from CO2 to CA right after that, and many of us moved to battery operated hoppers over the next few weeks.  We pooled money, got some cash sponsors, and purchased team jerseys.  We looked like a real team and felt like we understood the game.  Our first event was amazing and we were all very proud of the jobs we did.  We knew right away this was what we wanted to do, tournament paintball.  We competed in as many tournaments as we could afford.  Our sponsors gave what they could, and many members of the team committed money from their own pockets to further the team.  At one point we had over 12 members on the roster, fielding three, three man teams for a few events.  As a paintball team we all began to evolve, in all aspects.  During our third month as a team we decided that we wanted to play with electronic markers.  With our sponsors help we were able to get some really great deals on new markers.  We played five man for the first time with markers we had just bought and some that  we had borrowed.  After we won that tournament with a perfect score, we realized that five man was the path that all of us wanted to take...five man is a little more cerebral.  We now have an entire team with high end markers and gear.  We look forward to every tourney and practice as a team and individually as often as possible.  Below is a list of all the current players for the remainder of 2006 and 2007.  We expect to have 10 players on the roster for next year.
