You're young enough to start out, don't worry about that. But being realistic, it's unlikely you're going to make a living out of paintball - most players on pro teams either work in the industry or have a regular day job.

If you are 100% set on playing for a US pro team, staying in the UK for the next 4/5 years will not get you anywhere near ready for that. You should move to the USA now, and spend the next few years grinding it out getting noticed and hopefully picked up.

The two States offering the climate for all year round paintball are:-

1. California, specifially SoCal, so you can practice at SC Village or Hollywood Sports.
2. Florida, home to the current #1 team in the world, Tampa Bay Damage.
Or Moscow, home of the Russian Legion also the current number one team in the world.

Either way, Jon is right. You need to be playing the very best players you can play against, and also surround yourself with decent people.

What, go to Moscow and live in the cold where the locals speak a language you can't understand?

That would be like moving to Newcastle.

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.
