Am i too old for tournament speedball????? :((((((((

[Tom Allen]

definately too old, wake up and smell the roses...

you've missed the boat by at least 7 years, but hey what the hell, who cares.

I didn't start playing until I was 23, and will reach 47 in March this year. I know realistically I'd never have been capable of competing at top level, both in physical and financial terms. However that didn't prevent me enjoying the thriving tournament scene I played in the 90's, and continuing to love the recreational game I still play today.

The fact he is looking at gats for £150 suggests financially its looking highly unlikely but best of luck..

I'm 36 and started ballin 3yrs ago so my dreams of being a pro are well gone. I'm happy to try and win uk tournies

It's Dolly the sheep all over again

Most of the top pros are actually bred for the game. Ya know, engineered in a lab.
I was too, I was the product of some horny female genetecists trying to breed the perfect paintballer. I never went pro though because before I could, I found I had a brother, who was also engineered and had an evil plot to clone himself to make some unholy super team in a bid to become the greatest team ever and I had to stop him culmanating in a fight on top of the Statue of Liberty.


No, hang on... that was Judge Dredd.

So there might actually be more than one Cook$ on the planet?

OMG

Personally that age is easier in my eyes, you probley have a car you can get transport may have moved out have nobody telling you what you can and cannot do. So get out and DOO ITTT!

 

[Missy-Q]

I don't think you're too old at all.
Hell, you don't even need to be that talented.
I could get you on a pro team right away, no training, no experience necessary. I will even let you choose the team!


You do have a bunch of money though, right?
Just so's we're clear - The above is only true if you have a bunch of money.

Thanks to yaall guys u made me believe its possible, i was expecting more "u missed the boat by 7 years" kind of answers anyways... i'll get my gear together and ill get out there and see what happens.
