Well, today is Sunday and that means its practice day once again. This time, I want you all to try a drill that is fairly common but extremely effective and important. I know I have been harping on this all the time but this drill concentrates on communication (particularly from the back players). Like I have said before, there is a difference between being able to shoot a lot of paint and being a good back player. Anyone can just sit back there and drain hopper after hopper. So now without further adieu, here it is.
This drill requires four players (two front and two back). The front players carry everything they usually carry. The same goes for the back players, except they do not carry a gun on the field. This forces them to communicate with their front player. Since they will be unable to shoot at the other front player, the only thing they can do is shout to their front player where the opponent is. This drill gets your back player's mind off of shooting and makes them concentrate more on talking. Practicing this drill will round out your back players' games. And remember Clocktapus says "Keep talking, keep moving, keep winning."

This drill sounds like it could improve a players skill, although I think a key thing to a win is to get paint flying through the air. The back players need to keep paint moving and keep the other teams head down giving the players in the front a way to move. This drill seams like it would teach the back players to not shoot as much which may change the outcome of the game.
