Paintball season underway

The Brehm School Paintball Team spent the weekend training for their upcoming season.

Students set up camp later afternoon on Friday on Brehm’s campus. After going over the training schedule that evening, the students enjoyed a movie and then went “lights out.”

On Saturday, students had breakfast, a warm up and pep talk and broke into stations, which included “hand signals,” “bounding overwatch,” “crawling positions” and “executive functioning and paintball.”

Following a half-hour break, students broke into four more stations: “preemptive thinking,” “radio communications,” “woods walk/observation” and “tactical.”

Paintball team members enjoyed MREs (meals ready to eat) for lunch and broke into the last three stations for the day: “target practice,” “snap shooting,” “hasty attack” and “sliding.”

After practicing for a couple of hours, the students ate dinner and sat by the campfire before lights-out.

On Sunday, team members ate breakfast, broke into four more stations (“hasty ambush,” “follow the leader,” “zig zag” and “fugitive”), had lunch and put their skills to use in a two-hour long skirmish.
