College Paintball Championship

This video is the Fox College Paintball Sports broadcast of the 2007 JT USA College Championships. This video starts about half way through the championship match between the University of Connecticut Huskies and the Penn State University Nittany Lions.

I am impressed with the level of skill the players on both of these college paintball teams demonstrate. However the Fox College Sports broadcast team blows. Most of the amateur video of paintball I’ve watched has better production values. However the play by play announcers do a pretty good job… So there you go.

College Paintball, my story

Back when I was in College we started a paintball club for Washington State University. We worked hard to get the College to allow us to promote paintball at all. Putting up a flier inviting people to come out to a game, or show up at a meeting was a big deal. Getting the university to recognize the paintball club, was, well, monumental.

We played only one season as the University club paintball team, however the university did allow us to sell concessions and stay a recognized student organization for 5 years.

Going through all of that just to get my college paintball team into existence, I am utterly blown away by the USA Paintball championships as they now stand.

More College Paintball Videos

I am interested in tracking down videos from all of the college paintball championships, held over the years. If you find one and want to share it, leave a comment with a link to the video.

I have stumbled across a stash of videos from a team I use to go play with, that I will be posting in the next few days. Good times.

Update: One of these paintball videos is now up.
