Although speedball is a team game usually involving 3, 5,7 or 10 players per team, it can also be played recreationally with more people for an even more intense experience. Speedball is normally characterized by a smaller playing field, inflatable bunkers, and a short game time. To succeed in this format one must gain individual skills and teamwork such as aggressive movement and non-stop communication. Because of the small size of the field and the small bunkers, both teams easily see each other, so this type of paintball is based on aggressiveness, marker handling, strategic movements, and communication. Players also wear different attire. Speedballers do not need to wear camouflage, so they opt to wear brightly colored jerseys and pants.
Woodsball is a common style of paintball. Woodsball is played in wooded areas with bush and bunkers all around. These fields are usually quite large in size allowing the player to hide, or sneak around his opponent. Woodsball has many popular variants, giving the game very flexible variety. This is great fun for all, and is the most common type of paintball game for the recreational player which is played in South Africa.
