Paintball is an active sport. While there are periods of sitting, hiding and waiting, there are lots of times to run, sprint, jump and move. It provides an excellent chance to get exercise and get my heart rate up. As long as I remember to stretch, then the exercise is always going to be great for my body. C. Ever since I first played paintball I've loved the adrenaline and adventure it provides. Running through the woods, hiding behind inflatable bunkers, shooting opponents and getting shot just doesn't get old. When the countdown is on before the break or as I first take off once the game begins, there is still the tingle of anticipation that goes down my neck. That feeling will never get
People accumulate different feelings throughout the average day, yet there are usually no ways to adequately and legally let out those pent up frustrations. Dodgeball, luckily provides a solution. The author of an article named “The Weak Shall Inherit the Gym”, Rick Reilly, believes that “Dodgeball is one of the few times in life when you get to let out your aggressions, no questions asked (Reilly 2)”. In other words, this game is a unique and rare way to let out your daily emotions with a simple activity of throwing a ball at others. The effect of this game is only positive. You can throw balls at other people, relieve yourself of stress, and not injure them since the ball is made of a very soft material. There are in fact, much worse ways to release stress. One example is a school shooting. People who hold the opinion of banning dodgeball in order to keep everything safe and fair are being hypocrites since the frustrations which cannot be let out anymore can still be let out in ways that are significantly more detrimental to the school and it’s

Running around a dodgeball court boosts cardiovascular health. It lowers blood pressure, improves circulation, and burns calories so one can work off that burger they just ate (Thompson 1). Also, catching dodgeballs improves hand-eye coordination. In order to have a better chance of winning the game, one must coordinate themselves to hit their opponents and anticipate where the ball will be thrown to catch it. Furthermore, throwing balls a long distance to hit opponents refines muscle endurance. One can build muscle strength in the arms and shoulder by
Paintball is quite a new sport and is becoming more and more popular. It has been around since 1982, but professional paintball teams have just recently come together in 2002. The rules of paintball are not very complicated and are very concise. The game is very entertaining to play. There are also plenty of different types of products used to play the game. It is the one of the only sports that I am interested in and I hope that someday it could become a more popular sport.
The sun beaming down, burning his skin. Sweat pours down his face like a bucket of water. At this moment he knew… his journey to hole eighteen had begun. Step after step and swing after swing he is getting closer and closer. His opponent is close behind him in points and hole 18 is approaching. Swinging and missing and hitting the ball in the wrong direction sets him back. After finally making it in hole 17, he realizes it is going to take a miracle to win this match. He sets his feet shoulder width apart, he looks down at the ball and centers his body. The man takes one deep breath in and on the exhale, he swings with maximum force. Quickly he finds the ball flying in the air, approaching the pin with a bright red flag. The ball hits the green and rolls toward the hole. Within a matter of seconds, the ball disappears. It had made it in the hole. It was
