In order to work together properly as a team, there has to be some kind of strategy. For the most part, your team will be divided into two general categories – offence and defence. However, there may be different roles within these categories that players may be assigned.

Offence

Lead group: The most experienced group that go ahead to aggressively locate and flush out the enemy. However, in paintball fields that say your offence should stay in one group, sending the newbies ahead might be better – otherwise you may use your best players in an ambush!

Defence

Flag Defenders:Stationed in the immediate area of the flag, and stay in the same position pretty much during the entire paintball game unless they have to chase the stolen flag.

Forward defenders:Should move forward at the beginning to a point downfield then lie in wait to take out approaching opposition. Forward defenders may eventually become either attackers or flag defenders during the paintball game, depending on the circumstances.
