From Our players

Gopi Reddy

I found paintball through Paintball X and honestly, I never thought it would become such a big part of my life. What started off as trying something new slowly turned into serious training and competition. The coaching here is solid, very practical, supportive and focused on helping each player improve no matter their level.

Thanks to Paintball X, I’ve gotten chances to play in national tournaments and even represent India internationally, which is something I’m really proud of. Paintball has helped me become fitter, disciplined and mentally stronger, especially when it comes to handling pressure.
The best part though is the people. The community at Paintball X feels like a second family, everyone pushes you to do better, but they’ve always got your back.

I’m excited to keep training, keep playing tournaments, and continue representing India internationally.

I first discovered paintball watching my cousin and his neighbour play what felt like real-life Counter-Strike. The intensity, teamwork, and strategy hooked me instantly, and I signed up for 1v1 tournaments to experience it first-hand. What began as curiosity quickly turned into commitment.

As I progressed, structured coaching became a turning point. Training exposed gaps I could once hide in matches, helping me understand exactly what I needed to improve and making me a more complete, self-aware player. 
Competing locally and internationally especially representing India in Malaysia was a defining moment. Paintball is demanding, and keeping up meant real lifestyle shifts: better sleep, discipline, and consistent practice. It pushed me to grow both on and off the field.

Anush K D

I got introduced to paintball in 2010 after hearing about a college-level tournament on the radio. I convinced a few classmates to sign up, and we ended up finishing 4th. That experience hooked me instantly.

Training at PaintBallX became a turning point in my journey. The coaching program pushed my team and me to a completely new level, sharpening not just our skills but our understanding of the game. Over the years, I’ve competed in 10+ national and 5 international tournaments, won two national titles, and had the honour of representing India twice at World Cup Asia.

Beyond competition, paintball has had a huge impact on my life. It forced me to get fitter, more disciplined, and introduced me to some of my closest friends. Looking ahead, my goal is to compete at the highest level at the NXL in the United States.

Vaibhav P

I was looking for a new sport and then i came across Paintball at PBX. This quickly became a serious passion. The structured coaching helped me grow not only in skills and game strategy but also in teamwork. Through PBX, I’ve had the opportunity to compete in multiple tournaments, winning an Amateur division title, finishing runner-up in an Open division, and even representing India on the global stage.

Paintball has added fitness, focus, and purpose to my lifestyle and the PBX community makes the journey truly special supportive, competitive, and driven. Looking ahead my goal is to continue competing at higher levels and contribute back to the sport and community that shaped me.
