Streetball?
I've been playing around a year now and still have no idea what streetball is. I was wondering as a new field opening near me has their schedule up, and they have streetball in there. Is it the same as open play or a little different? Thanks guys

From my understanding, and doing a little research(which is free for anyone to do)..
It's playing games with no set teams. Say 20 random people show up at the field, you make 4 teams of 5 random people and every so often throughout the day you switch things up and just play.

Streetball is when whoever shows up to the field that day, they pick random people and put them together into different teams to play for the day. Typically it occurs on the weekdays. And I know what field you're talking about  Streetball is a lot of fun, been playing it for years. |

So wouldn't streetball be the same as open play which is on the same schedule? Weird.
Unless someone meant "speedball" and the web designer messed up lol.

It sounds like the rest of the guys are saying that you get put on a team for the day, open play they mix up the teams. Streetball definitely sounds fun and a great way to meet new potential teammates |

streetball is like open play but for streetball they are expecting people that know how to play and have tournament experiance on multiple teams. full teams of people come and show up but they get broken up and play in different teams all day long.

BAM. That about sums it up. It's just referred to as that rather than open play. Open carries a more self equipped beginner feel. Streetball is more experienced players. |

Pretty much. I tend to think of it as "Open play for people who think they're too good for open play", or "Open play for people who would die of embarrassment if they got shot out by a tippmann".

It probably derives from the basketball term.
You go to a local public court to play "pickup" games with whoever is already there playing.

Ha! I never did worry about what kind of marker the paintball came from. If he was good enough to shoot me first, he earned it.
